The Lightship Group
TLG was formed in 1995 as a partnership between Lightship America, the operating division of American Blimp, and Virgin Lightships, part of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic Group of Companies in Telford, UK. TLG currently operates 17 of 23 worldwide airships, making it the largest operating airship company. The Lightship Airship was created in response to the need for low-cost, high performance airships for both advertising and aerial survey. The group is known for its robust, cost-effective airships. The Lightship crew has combined for over 100,000 hours of flying experience. The Mineseeker Airship is an A60+ lightship that measures 150 feet long and 55 feet tall. With a gondola 14 by 5 feet long, it can hold up to five people.

branson and virgin have clearly been developing the technology, and QASP is about to take a controlling share of the for-profit arm of minesseeker. quasar is further developing the equipment. so who could honestly think branson would disappear at this point, when it's clear he's been involved from the get-go? i'm betting branson is still very connected to the mineseeker operation, and this means he's probably having meetings with quasar, too.

and who on earth could believe the bear nonsense, that quasar has somehow duped mineseeker? that's utterly absurd. do you think business people on the level of branson and/or kendrick do their DD before entering into agreements with a company? especially a pink sheet trading at .015? of course they do. as a global charity, their reputation means everything to their success.
i'm thinking QASP represents a unique opportunity for mineseeker to invest in their partner, as a reciprocal relationship, and their profits (on equity) can then be funneled back into the foundation to bolster the charity itself. jmho.
