You believe it if you want to, but no individual company has the ability to build such a craft without BILLIONS in subsidies from governments. I'll believe it more when they have at least one major component (like the engines) built and not as a crude rendering on computer screen.


Who is to say that billions haven't been invested in this? Or will be?


Subsidies from a government are not the same thing as investments by investors.
