No One Knows How To Make Going

The Next 15 Years Will See Thousands Of People Leave The Atmosphere On Suborbital Flights. My Company's Ss2 System Might Fly 100,000 People By 2024. If It Is Shown To Be Highly Profitable, Perhaps We Will See 20,000 People Traveling To Orbit By 2035, And Then Thousands To The Moon By 2050. If We Make A Courageous Decision, Like The Program We Kicked Off For Apollo, We Will See Our Grandchildren In Outposts On Other Planets.

Since Yuri Gagarin And Al Shepard's Epoch Flights In 1961, All Space Missions Have Been Flown Only Under Large, Expensive Government Efforts. By Contrast, Our Program Involves A Few, Dedicated Individuals Who Are Focused Entirely On Making Spaceflight Affordable.

I Like To Call The Difference Between Research And Development. Some People Use That Interchangeably. They'll Say R&d. They're Two Totally Different Things.

The Photographs Of Space Taken By Our Astronauts Have Been Published All Over The Place. But The Eye Is A Much More Dynamic Mechanism Than Any Camera Or Pictures. It's A More Exciting View In Person Than Looking At The Photographs. Of Course, I Personally Am Sick And Tired Of Hearing People Talk Like That: I Want To See It Myself!

We Need Affordable Space Travel To Inspire Our Youth, To Let Them Know That They Can Experience Their Dreams, Can Set Significant Goals And Be In A Position To Lead All Of Us To Future Progress In Exploration, Discovery And Fun. Thanks To The X Prize For The Inspiration.
