Here are the choices I don't want to make: between paying additional fuel costs and flying and steaming less; between paying additional fuel costs and building fewer ships and planes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We need to do more to conserve fuel or face tougher choices such as steep price increase or even quantitative restrictions.
There are many people talking about access to space and, 'How can we make that cheaper? How can we turn that into a Southwest Airlines versus the big airlines?'
First, we have to lower our costs to levels that are more competitive. This will prevent the lower-cost airlines from pushing us out of the markets we want to serve. We've made great progress on this front, but we need to keep pushing.
Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.
Everybody has to build double-hull tankers, but charterers don't want to pay for the extra costs.
One of the things that we can say with confidence is that we will have much lighter, much stronger materials, and this will reduce the cost of air flight, and the cost of rockets.
Trying to build a spaceship by making an aeroplane fly faster and higher is like trying to build an aeroplane by making locomotives faster and lighter - with a lot of effort, perhaps you could get something that more or less works, but it really isn't the right way to proceed.
Beyond reducing individual use, one of our top priorities must be to move from fossil fuels to energy that has fewer detrimental effects on water supplies and fewer environmental impacts overall.
The more that energy costs, the less economic activity there can be.
You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place.
