Lighten up mate
via your borrowed Wiki reference, he sounds like a well meaning bloke, but apparently not managing his and or other peoples money very well,
blowing it on "Space.. the final frontier" projects/gambles that even decades of past and present pros in the game still can't get right,
some of the burnt smarter and or poorer ones throwing in the towel
and moving on with reality, like promoting tech goods and services usable down here on Earth,
and earning some old school boring profit, with percentages going into debt stressed -serial optimistic junkie- investor pockets
FWIW: the gent is almost 90 years old, perhaps over it and getting a bit slow upstairs,
and people may be putting the touch on him for space explortation money directly,
and indirectly via feeding frenzy supplier contracts and middleman activities.
That's how serious wealth/businesses can go, if the head person isn't on the ball 24/7,
or their appointed managers have their heads above the clouds. Hey, it's not their money to gamble or lose, right?
Anyways, I wish the gent and his family well in all other matters,
and brush up on the losing money lesson "once bitten twice shy"
and let the next 'can do' billionaire in the queue have a go at it
