Halcyon people have put aside and left their homes, their million dollar salaries, full professorships at major universities, and fully seed-funded startup companies to be part of this effort.

Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them.

With Halcyon's technology, the pool of genetic information will grow by orders of magnitude in the course of months, offering the first real chance at cures for cancer and other previously intractable diseases.

We actually look to the scientific community to kind of come back to NASA and tell us what the priorities should be. And then at NASA, we try to look within our budget and say, 'What can we accommodate, and what are the most important things for the nation?'

Individual scientists cannot do much on their own. Heads of nations, corporates, and economic giants should recognise the criticality of it.

More than ever, the world needs good engineers. However, the pool of talent is shrinking not growing.

The Discovery was the most intricate, complex machine man has ever built. It's a testament to our time.

We think that it is the best scientists working in the frontier fields of science who are best able to judge what is good and what is bad - if any - in the application of their scientific research.

To deliver vast new resources to humanity, we must pioneer and occupy the moon, Mars, and perhaps even beyond.

Some dreamers demand that scientists only discover things that can be used for good.
