Bezos: wI hope someone goes because I want to watch it, it would be glorious, but not a motivator for my space plans.

Bezos: [still] don't know what we'll charge for suborbital flights; we'll start in same range as Virgin Galactic ($250-300K) and go down.

Collins, describing post-Apollo 11 quarantine: I'd pray every night that the mice [in quarantine with them] wouldn't die.

 Bezos: NASA needs to go after "gigantic, hard" tech goals, like in-space nuclear reactors or hypersonic point-to-point travel.

Q: what if next president asked you for space policy advice? Bezos: big prizes would be an interesting thing to do, like Mars sample return.

Bezos: Apollo was pulled far forward from the future. There was a hiatus after since we had to wait until we "up-leveled" our tech.

Collins: don't think we need to go back to the Moon, but go directly on to Mars. Armstrong disagreed with me.

Bezos: I believe Blue Origin will be a profitable business some day, but it needs a lot of funding for a long time.
