“Become the person you want to be” might better capture the sentiment we tend to express with advice like this.

Again, I'm not saying it's not possible I'm saying that it's going to be really, really hard and that saftey is the critical path to making this viable. I'm sure they are spending …

What am I missing that addresses the math?

Loss rate for Space Shuttle program was 1.5% 135 missions, 2 lost. http://www.popularmechanics.com/space/a6611/us-space-shuttle...

Are you motivated by money in this situation?

Yes, totally, I get that they have a plan to make it safer -- my point is that a 20,000x increase in saftey is a massive leap, and that will be the limiting factor for this technol…

The loss rate for manned space launches over the past 20 years has been 0.79%. What you're pointing out (only once every few decades) is a factor of the small number of manned laun…

Love the idea. Love it so much that I bought the domain reread.co a while back with the intent to create something very similar!

It has nothing to do with virtue, and I'm not suggesting that entrepreneurs aren't ambitious, I just think you're confusing ambition and drive. If your goal is wealth and security,…

In my experience what drives great entrepreneurs is not a desire for wealth, power, or fame; it's a burning desire to make a small change in the world, usually in the form of bring…

Can someone who understands the strategy behind fundraising explain why they would want to raise at such a high valuation? To be clear, one point left out of the article is that th…

I can't wait to explain to my grandkids someday that back when I was young we used to let humans drive big hunks of plastic and steel at breakneck speeds, with nothing more than ou…
