As member of a support group, I was visiting the workshop of Copenhagen Suborbitals sometime in 2010. Had a long and wide-ranging conversation with a fellow rocket enthusiast. Two things he said, I remember very clearly:

The first about a place called Hacker News. Poul Graham, if I knew who that was. Oh yes I did. "Startups and Lisp, startups and lisp, but he's written interesting stuff too". Well, I'm still here.

The second about the principal rocket builder: "Peter is such a dynamic and forceful character. He's bound to have some dark side we don't know about". And well, Peter isn't really still here. He's serving a lifetime prison sentence for having murdered and dismembered a female journalist onboard his private submarine last year.
