We spend most of our lives working. So why do so few people have a good time doing it?

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes-then learn how to do it later!

We'll not be sending anyone into space before it is safe and the vehicle is well and truly tested.

Space travel will be like every other business. There will be competitors. . . . Thirty months from now, I'm confident we'll be flying people into space.

Anyone who makes an effort at whatever they hope to accomplish can, and will, seriously improve their chances of succeeding.

I have always believed that there is no point in having regrets as you learn far more from mistakes than successes. Embrace a mistake and learn from it; don't regret them.

Develop the business around the people; build it, don't buy it; and, then, be the best.
