My (dated) contribution to the eclipse discourse: photos I took of the 2017 eclipse when I lined it up with a volcano mid-flight

Also spotted some people camping on the rim of another volcano on the way there, what an experience that must've been

There’s a kind of plane and flying experience we could have, but because of how aerospace works, never will.

It would require rebuilding the whole industry into a single company.

I spoke with Packy McCormick about how I intend to do it. (because I love flying)

Ian is one of those special founders you meet occasionally who both have the ambition to build truly awesome stuff, and then also have the technical chops to actually do it

This thing (well, a bigger version of it) is going to fly much sooner and for way less money than you think and the market size is a hell of a lot bigger than space launch.
