We don't hide our space program. We don't keep secrets and cover things up. We do it all up front and in public. That's the way freedom is, and we wouldn't change it for a minute.

There was a space program before there was integrated circuits.

The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program.

The single simplest reason why human space flight is necessary is this, stated as plainly as possible: keeping all your breeding pairs in one place is a retarded way to run a species.

The space program needs a goal, and the goal should be humans to Mars.

Our goal is to show that you can develop a robust, safe manned space program and do it at an extremely low cost.
