Testing Leads To Failure, And Failure Leads

I Spent About Seven Years During The Vietnam War Flight-testing Airplanes For The Air Force. And Then I Went In And I Had A Lot Of Fun Building Airplanes That People Could Build In Their Garages. And Some 3,000 Of Those Are Flying. Of Course, One Of Them Is Around-the-world Voyager.

We Didn't Know The Importance Of Home Computers Before The Internet. We Had Them Mostly For Fun, Then The Internet Came Along And Was Enabled By All The Pcs Out There.

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.

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.

We Didn't Have Practical Model Rockets In The '50s. The Ones We Made Were Very Dangerous And The Kids That Played With Them Didn't Have All Their Fingers, And Sometimes Were Blind In One Eye.
