I don't think the space station is innovative. Going to the moon was innovative because we had no idea how to do it.

Every second of every day, our senses bring in way too much data than we can possibly process in our brains.

Companies have too many experts who block innovation. True innovation really comes from perpendicular thinking.

Every generation feels it has the problems that will destroy it. That's because we can perceive them a long time before we have the ability to fix them.

In the space business, space had gotten very much to be the aerospace industry. This is something that governments only do and it's where the Boeings and the Lockheed's and the Northrop's and so forth. And there's no way these small companies could do it.

I'm not saying we don't have our set of problems - climate crisis, species extinction, water and energy shortage - we surely do. But ultimately we knock them down.

I'm extraordinarily passionate about the idea of asteroid mining in the future. Asteroids out there, we know them from those that have fallen on the Earth, there is a class of asteroids, sub-class of nickel/iron asteroids, which are 50,000 times more enriched than Platinum mines on earth.
