If you’re looking to get your hands dirty and be on the ground floor of
public space travel, you might touch base with one of the leading spaceline
builders.

Scaled Composites in Mojave, California is in the deep design stage of a
fleet of commercial suborbital spaceships and launch aircraft. They are also
in recruitment mode to find the right talent to build the commercial
spaceships for the new industry of private spaceflight.

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).
