I'm really hopeful about the future of space exploration and human spaceflight. Civilization as we know it has been defined by exploration.

Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.

The future is today.

Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of relevance in an intensely mobile flux of past, present, and future.

As a leader, I am tough on myself and I raise the standard for everybody; however, I am very caring because I want people to excel at what they are doing so that they can aspire to be me in the future.
