SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell, speaking from the company's HQ at the #TIME100Talks, says she believes in the next 10 years "people will be able to travel into space who are not billionaires" and that "people will be able to travel to Mars."
@SpaceX @elonmusk Shotwell told @patbits: "I remember when I was interviewing with Elon in 2002 and he had such a ambitious goal, it sounded absolutely insane at the time. And now almost 20 years later, it doesn't actually sound that insane - at least not to the insiders, maybe to the public."
