I don't think even one per cent of the people in this world explore more than 10 per cent of all that this world has to offer. That's a shame!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.
We are 5 percent of the global population and consume a third of the total resources - on some level we should all feel guilty relative to the world.
The people on this planet that are trying to live their life, that aren't trying to destroy things, are in the 99.9-percent majority.
I want to believe humanity has not forgotten how to explore.
The whole of the global economy is based on supplying the cravings of two per cent of the world's population.
We're in a world that celebrates things: success, beauty, money. And I reckon that's really about 4 per cent of the world. The rest of us are just getting on with it.
This is a perverse thing, personally, but I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us. It gives us latitude to go out and make big bets that excite and amaze people.
The world is too fascinating to limit yourself to one path or one sort of people.
If you take 10,000 people at random, 9,999 have something in common: their interests in business lie on or near the Earth's surface. The odd one out is an astronomer, and I am one of that strange breed.
When someone tells me, 'Oh, we have so many problems on Earth; space exploration costs too much money,' I say, 'I absolutely agree with you. But I still hope we do it.'
