absolutely not commercial, just a stunt/expanding the envelope. Like Rutan's
Voyager...

No, I know nothing about them. And since I wouldn't invest in anything in
the recreational aviation market, other than my own toys, I have no desire
to investigate it.

But you don't need me to bet with. Just invest in them. Or really take the
leap and apply for a job with them.

After a second look at their site I notice that they aren't at this point
trying to develop a commercial product just to fly around the world with
solar power. While doing that might lead to a commercial product it might
just as easily not.

Record attempts are great but unless they bring us closer to a useful
products then they are just stunts.

Cool idea but I give little credence to any of this stuff until a
flying prototype is built. There are just too many hucksters out
there that know how use computer graphics and build a web site.
