Solar and wind are intermittent and they're so diffuse, it's difficult to harness them in a significant way.

It's absolutely simple and cheap technology.”

“It is frustrating when in an interview people say: 'Give us your make-up tips' and 'How do you stay skinny?' I think: 'Do you ask a guy that?”

“Most of our history in space has been communicated in terms of action - what people do, a chronological list of events which have transpired - as opposed to the human experience of having done those things.”
