Trade Mark
The Spacefleet logo that has been in use since the company was founded
in 2004 is now a registered trade mark. so, at least we can say that we
have a little piece of intellectual property, all of our own!
Funding is still proving elusive. It's not so
surprising, really. If the club membership increases to the levels we
would like to see, then we will be in a position to pay for our own
technical study, the results of which would, of course, be sent to all
the club members.

When one thinks about it, it is a lot to expect, to find a financier for
a project such as ours. The giving of large amounts of money depends on
a large amount of trust. One can only gain the trust of a financier by
first getting to know one well. The big projects in progress, such as
Blue Origin, Space-X and Virgin Galactic are all supported directly by
their CEO's personal cash. That's the only way it can be done, right
now. So, we are setting about building Spacefleet, little by little,
into a functioning aerospace company. Then we'll see where we'll get to.
Even if time is beginning to run out for getting into the sub-orbital
space tourism market, the really big attraction is orbital flight.
That's what space travel is really all about. |
