Bert Rutan quote “… to fulfill people’s dreams …” “We want our children to go to the planets. “We are willing to seek breakthroughs by taking risks. “And if the business-as-usual space developers continue their decades-long pace, they will be gazing from the slow lane as we speed into the new space age. “This time, not for prestige but this time, to fulfill people's dreams.” – Burt Rutan June 20, 2004 “We want our children to go to the planets. “We are willing to seek breakthroughs by taking risks. “And if the business-as-usual space developers continue their decades-long pace, they will be gazing from the slow lane as we speed into the new space age. “This time, not for prestige but this time, to fulfill people's dreams.” – Burt Rutan June 20, 2004
