‟ We go as humans into space to expand the domain of humanity and life - not robots. And as we do, we will get more science because when you are living somewhere, you obviously learn more about it. NASA and the government must first get out of the way and then support us as we open the frontier.

‟ NewSpace, commercial space - whatever you want to call it - is rising, with or without government support.
