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.
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.
Was it worth what Allen spent? He didn't care, he was enjoying his money.

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.
