I like Thiel because he: 1. As far as I know, mostly finances things without marketing hype. 2. Takes immortality research seriously. (Yo, get Countess Bathory on the phone). This is more important to me than space. Though I feel like any true advances will be kept under wraps. 3. Doesn't seek attention or hype and is reasonable about things. Frankly, the fact that he doesn't draw attention to the fact that he is gay is endearing - it's just irrelevant. Anderson Cooper type of deal. I do question his bitter lawsuits, but I am too lazy to research the details.
