The Brothers Rutan get my vote for the Tom Swift Jr. Prize for Advanced Government-Free Technological Coolness. Dean Kamen is a runner-up, but he never built anything remotely like a space-going vehicle. I'll bet these guys read the same Tom Swift stories I did back in 50s and 60s. It's just that they followed through.
