One of my goals is to reinvent philanthropy.

I'm a nine-year old kid inside and my passion has been all my life to want to travel into space.

If the risk is fully aligned with your purpose and mission, then it's worth considering.

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

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

Space is not a two-year objective. It used to be, in the early '60's, we had this eye candy of Mercury and Gemini and Apollo and every year we would do something more and more and it met those needs. But the easy stuff has been done.

Life on Earth is at an ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by disaster. ... I think the human race doesn't have a future if it doesn't go into space. I therefore want to encourage public interest in space.
