I thought the interesting part was:

Rutan said that his company hires individuals from all kinds of
backgrounds, not just the normal "aerospace pool".

which is something that some alt.space-minded folk have been saying
for a long time (Rutan has been building flying things for a long time
too, so I'm not trying to make a statement about who gave the idea to
who).
