"It doesn't matter how long they burn, so long as they continue to use MY motor."

A decade or more ago I read a book entitled "The E Myth" which basically concludes that lots and lots of people have great ideas (the "myth" being that all it takes to succeed is a great idea), but that very few people can actually turn ideas into reality.

Rutan is one of those few.
