It was I think the biggest startup in corporate history at the time. So the ability to fly for twenty five hours at a time for a cost of eight thousand dollars rather than having to buy fractions of planes. I think this is a quote in the book by Ben Horovitz which I sort of go back to time and time again. Great read.
