"Oh, yeah, we were being dumb" Truer words have never been spoken by authentic innovators. I worry when I don't hear some variant of that phrase frequently and fervently.

Some of the best redesign and improvement comes from: "We did some analysis and realized we were just doing something dumb" lol great video, and really fascinating concepts they are working with!

I like the reasonably grounded philosophy. Not promising Mars in 5 years but storying with first principles and seeing how far they can take it. Wish them the best

I like the guy that showed you around, he seems to be realistic... Often the places have people doing marketing BS talking to external people....

Good design is knowing you don't have all the answers yet, and that it is going to take hard work and experimentation to get there. I really admire these guys, and wish them all the best!

Ha, I welded that new kickstage up. And the rest of the stuff that’s painted white. These guys/gals are doing great work. You can tell who are the real innovators when you work alongside them. These people are the real deal. Awesome team.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCZSYLS2X9M&t=910">15:10</a> I was expecting a "That's impossible", but instead got a "I don't know how to do that". And my respect to the man and his team goes 1000000%

If Scott Manley came to my office, I would act like I had too much caffeine too.
