I don't know whether the people behind 'Freedom Ship' have their act sufficiently together to succeed. It's a lot easier to put up a sophisticated website than to build a huge ship. Nevertheless, I'm highly impressed with what I've seen so far and with my limited contact with people involved in the project.
I've heard a rumor that 'Popular Mechanics' is working on an extensive article on 'Freedom Ship,' possibly with a picture on the front cover. If this comes about, it could boost interest and reservations substantially.
