I'm reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States - for the century, at least.

You could power the entire United States with about 150 to 200 square kilometers of solar panels, the entire United States. Take a corner of Utah... there's not much going on there, I've been there. There's not even radio stations.

There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.

You have to be pretty driven to make it happen. Otherwise, you will just make yourself miserable.

You shouldn't do things differently just because they're different. They need to be... better.

Weighing too much on someone's talent and not someone's personality. I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

If anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me.
