morning things-in-life awful
And we need things in life that are exciting and inspiring. It can't just be about solving some awful problem. There have to be reasons to get up in the morning.
mean years car
I've actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don't mean hybrid, I mean fully electric.
needs species humans
Humans need to be a multiplanet species.
risk trying covering
There's a tremendous bias against taking risks. Everyone is trying to optimize their ass-covering.
horse technology order
Every mode of transport that we use - whether it's planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, horses - is reusable, but not rockets. So we must solve this problem in order to become a space-faring civilization.
hard-work giving people
When people really understand it's do or die [and] if we work hard and pull through, it's going to be a great outcome; people will give it everything they've got.
creating sake done
I don't create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done.
inspirational technology impact
I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.
creativity broken design
Any product that needs a manual to work is broken.
determination people innovation
Starting and growing a business is as much about the innovation, drive and determination of the people who do it as it is about the product they sell.
space long important
You can just reload, propel it and fly again. This is extremely important for revolutionizing access to space because as long as we continue to throw away rockets and space crafts, we will never truly have access to space.
inspirational morning goal
People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.
space fixers planets
It's a fixer-upper of a planet but we could make it work.
world needs figures
We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world.
