Although the GlobalFlyer program will ostensibly demonstrate long-range flight technologies, Rutan isn't much interested in freighting the project with claims about import. Last August, while discussing his SpaceShipOne program before a standing-room-only crowd at the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual gathering in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, he gleefully dismissed any argument that his program would contribute to any body of knowledge whatsoever. "What scientific value will this program have?" he asked. His answer, shouted into a microphone: "We don't care! We're doing this for one reason only: fun."
