bring finding matter shape ways
We have a lot of ways of finding the stage, and we really want to bring it back no matter what shape it's in.
mind wish way
It's just mind-blowingly awesome. I apologize, and I wish I was more articulate, but it's hard to be articulate when your mind's blown-but in a very good way.
perspective humanity way
Going from PayPal, I thought: 'Well, what are some of the other problems that are likely to most affect the future of humanity?' Not from the perspective, 'What's the best way to make money?'
carefully comment early fuel further issue launch next provide require soon stage structural tank until
Launch is scrubbed until early next year,as there is a structural issue with the 1st stage fuel tank that will require repair. I will provide further comment as soon as this has been carefully analyzed.

that are happy to sign up as soon as they see a launch that works.
airplane building definitely entire expensive factory imagine integrated single split transport
is analogous to building part of an airplane in a factory and part of the airplane on the runway. You can imagine that's a pretty expensive way to split the construction so the fact that we can just do the entire integrated rocket, transport it as a single unit, that definitely reduces costs.

We are not simply going to address this particular point problem and then merrily jump back into a countdown sequence.

My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

We're not going to cut and run if we have a few issues. We're not going to cut and run if we have a lot of issues. We're going to see this through.
business familiar launch scrubs
Those familiar with the launch business will know that countdown scrubs are a way of life.
confidence left shortcuts stone
I think I can say with confidence that we've left no stone unturned. We've made no shortcuts in development. We've done everything we can.
earliest expect full ground including late launch occur review software support third vehicle
We will also do another full review of all the vehicle systems, including propulsion, structures, avionics, software and ground support systems. Therefore, I expect that the earliest that launch would occur is late January. Third time's the charm.
billion design jet mind planes took vertical
Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That's pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
