The only regrets I have are rather prosaic - like I wish I went for a swim in the Pacific.

Even before I helped to co-found Microsoft, I saw a connected future . . . I called that future The Wired World.

I am very excited to be supporting one of the world's most visionary efforts to seek basic answers to some of the fundamental question about our universe and what other civilisations may exist elsewhere.

The possible is constantly being redefined, and I care deeply about helping humanity move forward.

I grew up around books. When I first held the book and it was a substantive, tangible thing, and I thought of all the work that went into it, not just my work but everybody else's and the research and so forth, there's a sense of really have done something worthwhile.

As a species, we've always been discoverers and adventurers, and space and the deep ocean are some of the last frontiers.

Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.
