Report: XCOR's Customers Still Holding Out For Refunds

In a cautionary tale for early adopters, there are still hundreds of customers hoping to get their money back from Mojave-based XCOR Aerospace, after the company went bankrupt, according to a story from the LA Times this weekend. According to the Times, those customers--who paid $100,000 for a ticket to space on a yet-to-be-qualified-or-completed spacecraft--are still hoping, somehow, to get some of that money back. XCOR filed for bankruptcy in 2017, after failing to both gain additional investors to fund its development, and also failing to ever launch a single vehicle into space. The Times report says that there are 282 ticket holders hoping for something back from the failed firm. XCOR first received seed funding in 2005.
