"Oddly enough, I actually think the odds [of a Mars colony] are pretty good. At this point I am certain there is a way. I’m certain success is one of the possible outcomes for establishing a self-sustaining Mars colony, in fact a growing Mars colony. I’m certain that it’s possible. Whereas until maybe a fear years ago I was unsure whether success was even one of the possible outcomes." [Sep, 2016]

“I think it is a mistake to hire huge numbers of people to get a complicated job done. Numbers will never compensate for talent in getting the right answer (two people who don’t know something are no better than one), will tend to slow down progress, and will make the task incredibly expensive."

“Whatever the thing is your trying to create, [ask] what would be the utility delta compared to the current state of the art, times how many people it would affect? So that’s why I think something that makes a big difference but affects a small to moderate number of people is great, as is something that makes a small difference but affects a vast number of people. The area under the curve would be roughly similar for those two things. So it's really about trying to be useful.”

"At our current rate of technological growth, humanity is on a path to be godlike in its capabilities. You could bicycle to Alpha Centauri in a few hundred thousand years, and that’s nothing on an evolutionary scale. If an advanced civilisation existed at any place in this galaxy, at any point in the past 13.8 billion years, why isn’t it everywhere? Even if it moved slowly, it would only need something like .01 percent of the Universe’s lifespan to be everywhere. So why isn’t it?"
