Charles Simonyi speaks

No, it's not a pie in the sky scheme. The benefits for life on this planet are astronomical. Supporting this 'sky scheme' is the only way for our species to survive for millions of years or more if we can pull it off. Do you doubt the resilience of your own kind? Do you doubt the spirit of mankind, itself? I hope not!

Besides, we all know that the greedy ones will try to spin their power and control to their gain only. So, it would behoove us all to pay attention to the benefits, scientific and otherwise to check these "bastards"

Q&A Session

... glad I found this... I've been supporting any endeavor to develop a space economy for a number of years.

Hope you enjoyed the webcast as much as I have.

exciting times ahead
