mansouryar

First I thank admin for informing me of such a great possibility to contact to Burt Rutan. Now, my question is:
Hi Mr. Rutan; I have a theory on traversable wormholes for faster than light travels. I plan to realize it via private sector at Iran, but there are many unpleasant legal involvements for doing that with the government and the military. I mean I cannot act as freely as I like. Do you have any advice for me to act as independently as possible?

He truly is a crazy engineer! He says it himself

...and that supports my belief (since childhood) that Crazy Engineers have the ability to make a difference!

One more day to go, friends! We'll not accept questions after 28^th February, 2008.

Hello Sir,
I had 1 more interesting question to ask.

Sir recently I came across very impressive and interesting topic 'ANTIMATTER' . Sir in many fiction novels and movies ANTIMATTER is shown as a huge source of energy in future.

Sir we would like to know how will this energy (if possible) utilized in future? Is it possible for space traveling?
Also will it be economically implemented successfully?

Though CERN has developed its will it be used by private aided companies(like your company?).

What is your View overall on 'ANTIMATTER'.

Thanking You,
Sanket.

Biggie i think you have already read about Mr. Rutan. His related work and what he does. And the Q's you will select will be related to his work and/or a bit related to the procedures of doing projects.

Just thought of asking this after reading the Q's here. Some are not related to his work at all.

Unfortunately, people haven't read about Mr. Rutan's work. That's why most of the questions we've gotten so far aren't very related to his work. We'll of course filter out the questions before preparing the final questionnaire.

I was expecting lots of interesting questions from CEans. But I'm disappointed.

I hope my q is still within time,

1.I would like to ask how long can an aircraft(Those commercial ones designed by Mr. Rutan) going into space last before it would become essential to discard it and what implications would that have on the costs people would need to bear to get to outer space.

2. with subsequent modifications and research, how far does Mr. Rutan think that his designs could lead mankind to? More explicitly, would Mr. Rutan's aircrafts some day lead men to distances as far as the moon or other planets??

3.What is the target number of customers Mr.Rutan is planning to take to outer space every year??

Very good, Mahul! Yes, you are well within time. We've about 12 hours to go before we stop collecting questions.

I'll post here as soon as this activity is over.
