the company was later taken over by richard branson who says in a couple of weeks or months he will be on his own private spaceship on the suborbital flight's and i to have the private sector being involves the most of us know that the heavyweights let me mention the commercial orbital transportation basically nasa over the last decade has begun to contract out and work with private companies and so in the end that meant space x now carries cargo to the iss and then of course you have elon musk and then blue origin building rockets. musk may be more of a celebrity type. jeff is a little more working away with three rockets designed the first is the armstrong which is suborbital the second is putting people in orbit then the third is the armstrong something that is interplanetary to the moon and elsewhere. this is very exciting how many people know robert bigelow? right appear in las vegas in north las vegas. and 2001 he invited a group of 15 or 20 space geeks me included here to las vegas and said he made a billion dollars in hotels and said i will spend half of that putting up private

plus the i wouldn't include richard branson in your space visioned billionaires. nothing's happened in 1nothings. >> you shouldn't be building. i said that back when they were going to. we do that with stadiums in baltimore city he could afford it himself. >> my concern is with the continuing to get it in line, georgia wants a spaceport, colorado was certified, atlantic city once a spaceport. they are starting to launch their own space programs like the one in washington isn't bad enough. we have a lot of capital flowing to the community. investments, the first truly private spaceport that was built by the rocket that launched. do you see a danger in that as well because now we are seeing state money. >> absolutely. i've done work in a lot of regulatory areas as you see the same thing with states competing. you have that whole thing with amazon. i love amazon. i use it all the time. when i say where did this come from, my girls say it comes from amazon. the state could have done this for decades the taxpayers money if we build it they will come. it might be a good

carrying three people and herbert became one that prize and his company was later taken over by richard branson who said in a couple of weeks or a month is going to be on his own private spaceship, this is going to be suborbital flight but the point is you happy private sector folks getting very interested andinvolved . most of us know about the two heavyweights. let me mention the commercial orbital transportation services and some of the other stuff. nasa in the last decade has begun to contract out and work much closer with private companies and of course in the end what it meant was orbital and space x which i'll talk about in a second now carry cargo to the international space station and of course you have elon musk and jeff bezos with blue origin and elon musk with space x building rockets. must is maybe more of the celebrity type. jeff bezos is more of the just working away. he's got three rockets assigned, the first one is the armstrong which is the suborbital, the second is the glenn that we put people in orbit and the third is armstrong which will be something to carry interplanetary

bert - - won that prize and his company was later taken over by richard branson.who says in a couple weeks or months, he will be on his own private spaceship. while this will be a suborbital flight. the fact is you have private sector folks getting interested and involved. most of us know about two heavyweights. let me mention the commercial orbital transportation services and the other stuff. basically, nasa, in the last decade or so, has begun to contract out and work closer with private companies. in the end, what it meant was world and spacex now carry cargo to the international space station. and of course you have elon musk and jeff bezos with blue origin and elon musk with spacex. building rockets. more of the celebrity type, jeff bezos is kind of working away. he's got three rocket designs. the first one is armstrong which is a suborbital. second one is the glenn to put people in orbit and the third is the armstrong which can carry interplanetary to them one or elsewhere. this is very exciting. how many of you know robert bigelow? yeah, he is right up here

richard branson and jeff basis for that in the world get is it too much credit for making it more accessible parade at still not accessible if you have to sell your house to go. to space. but one of the opportunities that is there, at that there are more people now i think having dialogue from different and sections of study and expertise. for example, people who are interested in taking the tools of archaeology and anthropology to understand not only like, what happens if we find signs of live on another world or civilization or something that builds things in the way that humans do. not just that but also to even understand how we might go about searching for live. i think that has been very much the purview of people it's a very narrow range of expertise mostly. physics and occasional biology and engineering for a long time. one of the things i have been very excited to see at how much space there at no for conversations it's people in the humanities. as well as science at beyond the physical sciences. i think that that is something that will be very important as we go forward. especially

you can't get anymore iconic than virgin and richard branson. you can't get anymore technology centric than putting people back into space and coming back down again safely so from my standpoint, this is a no brainer because it's such an interesting company. as we started looking at the company, the opportunity for revenue. there's over 600 people that paid money already for their ticket chamath palihapitiya and i are two of them. it's a really compelling company. >> let me ask you, let's broaden the conversation out to some of the things we've been seeing in the valley with evaluations and the obvious story to ask you guys about is the delay in the wework ipo you first, chamath palihapitiya. when you see wework, and what happened over the last couple of weeks, what is your take >> well, i think if you play the narrative of wework backwards, it is a tale of three different things i think it's undenial there's incredible market fit for people who want flexible work space but then the problem starts to get a little bit kgrayer the second part of t

richard branson says virgin atlantic will do all it can to find people jobs, and bring stranded peopleranson going on to say, thomas cook was the pioneer of organized travel. it has been such a strong force in the travel industry. it is upsetting to see some people lose their jobs and thousands of holiday makers affected by disrupted travel. charles, authorities say it could be two weeks before all the thomas cook customers can be flown home. more than a million customers had their upcoming trips canceled. so very sad indeed. but i got to say, the writing has been on the wall for this company for quite some time. charles: ashley, thank you very much. thomas cook's demise, not bad news for everyone involved. wall street speculators will earn as much as quarter of a billion dollars from the bankruptcy, perhaps giving more fodder to the likes of elizabeth warren. chairman of the civic forum pac, ford o'connell. ford, when i saw this headline, if i'm thinking i'm a elizabeth warren speechwriter, once again, regular people, thousands lose their jobs, hundreds of thousands of people stranded
