The idea of a young thin woman who weighs 100 pounds driving herself around in a 4,000 pound SUV is laughable.

Humans are the worst control system to put in front of a car.

The folks who go after grand challenges are impatient. They're pissed off. They're sick and tired, but in a passionate way. They're driven by a fire in their bellies to make a difference.

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

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.

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.

Small teams driven by their passion with a clear focus can do extraordinary things. Things that only large corporations and governments could do in the past.
