I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.

I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration.

Being an entrepreneur is like eating glass and staring into the abyss of death.

It was obvious to me that we could never colonize Mars without reusability, any more than America would have been colonized if they had to burn the ships after every trip.

You need to live in a dome initially but over time you could terraform Mars to look like Earth and eventually walk around outside without anything on. ... So it's a fixer-upper of a planet.

You can just reload, propel it and fly again. This is extremely important for revolutionizing access to space because as long as we continue to throw away rockets and space crafts, we will never truly have access to space.

My motivation for all my companies has been to be involved in something that I thought would have a significant impact on the world.
