I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.

I feel very strongly that SpaceX would not have been able to get started, nor would we have made the progress that we have, without the help of NASA.

I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I've got kids and responsibilities, so I can't be my own test pilot. That wouldn't be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it's a sensible thing to do.

I'm not a registered Republican or Democrat. I don't even vote.

Our approach has been to take no chances whatsoever.

Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that.
