In fact, it's more dangerous to fly in space in America now than it was earlier. It certainly is more expensive...more difficult. We've been relying on our taxpayer-funded research organization, Na Say, excuse me, NASA. |
Just like when early airplanes were flying in 1910, we didn't know what the benefits are, but we were doing it because it was fun. |
Mankind does need to move away from where we are to explore somewhere else. |
Our goal is to show that you can develop a robust, safe manned space program and do it at an extremely low cost. |
Our hope is that this will be a benchmark ... for a lot more people to not only have fun but to reap the benefits that we believe might be there, |
Our success proves without question that manned space flight does not require mammoth government expenditures...it can be done by a small company operating with limited resources and a few dozen dedicated employees. |
Since Yuri Gagarin and Al Shepard's epic flights in 1961, all space missions have been flown only under large, expensive government efforts, ... By contrast, our program involves a few, dedicated individuals who are focused entirely on making spaceflight affordable. |

Testing leads to failure, and failure leads to understanding. |
The ship that we're developing in our shop right now in Mojave will have a very large cabin. |
There will be a new industry. And we are just now in a beginning. I will predict that in 12 or 15 years, there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people that fly, and see that black sky. |
Today's flight marks a critical turning point in the history of aerospace. We have redefined space travel as we know it. |
We are looking for people that like to build things with their hands and are good craftsman. We need those that give 100-percent each day and enjoy a fast-paced research and development environment. |
We are not able to hire temporary employees or interns. |
