 We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other thing, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. 2016's From Seven Countries are in pursuit of the Ansari ex-primes. The ex-prime, a $10 million contest for privately built space ship. I grew up in the 60's expecting that what I saw with NASA was going to continue and we were going to all have a chance to go into space. Fire. Fire. My interest in space started when I was a young girl growing up in Iran. I felt like all the answers to every question I would have is out there. As we explore frontiers, it's during those times that we create the greatest innovation ever. From scratch, a manned space program, we did seven rocket firings and three of those were flights out of the atmosphere. The legacy of ex-primes is to make dreams come true, to make impossible dreams come true. Space will be a big part of humanity and I think the future will look very bright. You want to believe that we're going to be out there among the stars and that's the thing that, I mean, I get really excited about that kind of future. I think most people do. 15 years ago, since Burt Rutan won the Ansari ex-primes, private spaceflight has become a massive industry. Our dreams of traveling to space are becoming a reality for us all. I just love the idea of ex-primes, I mean it spurs on innovations in a whole lot of different fields. If it hadn't been for the ex-primes, we wouldn't be standing here today.
