June 22nd, 2019: Stratolaunch
Paul Allen was co-founder of Microsoft along with Bill Gates, so you know he had a couple bucks.
He spent on a lot of good causes but I think he had more fun than Gates. For the last 9 or 10 years he's been bankrolling Stratolaunch. Allen died last October with less than $22 Billion, but it was from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. So according to all the TV lawyer ads that means his widow can collect bigtime. Stratolaunch first flew this spring. http://cellar.org/img/Allen1.jpg Lots of parts from two 747s. I don't know if this is still a viable idea now they are able to land and reuse rockets. http://cellar.org/img/Allen2.jpg Was it worth what Allen spent? He didn't care, he was enjoying his money. http://cellar.org/img/Allen3.jpg link |
The toys get bigger.
To be fair, at least Paul Allen didn't destroy the education system of the most powerful country on earth.. |
Paul Allen never married. His sister is trustee for everything that is.
|
So Allen was smarter than Gates. :lol:
