Default Can Branson Charge For Flights In An Experimental Aircraft?

I haven't followed this argument and I'm not going to go back and read it so
if this has been mentioned before please ignore this comment.

The FAA is an American regulatory agency. They have absolutely no say in
anything the rest of us might do, thank God. If Branson is interested in
investing huge quantities of cash into making something like this happen I
doubt some piddly little American agency will stop him.

Well, considering Mr. Branson wants to launch those aircraft from a spot
out in the USAian desert the FAA will have a say in it.

No matter where you launch an object into space, the local government is
going to have an interest and is likely to intervene. And if you do
find someplace where this is not in fact true, then I expect the rest of
the world will take an acute interest and feel the need to police your
activities when you do start to hurl stuff into orbit.
