“Make sure you have a clear understanding of your values and intent, then use technology to enable that. What the tech won’t do is compensate for a lack of strategy.”

– Dylan Taylor

“Come year-end, there will be more capital deployed in newspace in 2016 than 2015. I see that trend continuing for the foreseeable future.”

“We are going to mint new astronauts from all communities. We want to influence public policy and opinion… by changing the mindset.”

“There are really four ‘headlines’ for me: honesty, integrity, hard work, and what I call a ‘can-do’ attitude. You could call that ‘can-do’ attitude optimism, but it is not Pollyannaish optimism. Rather, it is a ‘we’ll figure it out’ type of mentality.”

“Our focus is to get citizen astronauts to experience the ‘overview effect,’ return to Earth, and then impact their communities.”

– Dylan Taylor

“Whether it’s space tourism or really interesting missions to the moon or Mars, you really need a healthy capital ecosystem to make that happen. Nation states and governments have the control, but unless the financing is sustainable, it’s hard to really keep them on that.”

– Dylan Taylor

“Space enables a higher degree of transparency, it’s hard to hide from space-based assets.”

– Dylan Taylor

“What I tell business leaders is you’re in the space industry – you just don’t know it yet. Every industry will be impacted by space. The internet would not exist without space-based communication.”

– Dylan Taylor

“The bigger shift in space exploration won’t be commercial crew – that will be a validation of something we already knew was going to be the case. It will be when you have a fully private company launching everyday citizens. When people know people in their communities who have been to space on a daily basis.”
