Frases de Sheyene Gerardi

“A lot is changing in the space industry every year and as machine learning advances and sophistication of robotic technology is refined even further. We can see there is a very feasible path forward.”

“Knowledge accumulates over time; it’s not just one person or one set of time but over many hundreds of years. That gives me hope.”

“My hero is a person whose general interests and values really drives them well beyond job security or even popularity.”

“Science gives me hope. Not just because it’s inherently optimistic, but also because it’s a practical way of improving things.”

“We already convert sunlight into beamed energy and send it down to Earth. Except we use it to carry information rather than raw power. To deliver power requires a massive increase in scale, but not inventing new technology.”

“We have scientific evidence that we’ve entered the Anthropocene. Working together, all people, and shift to a new paradigm to find the solutions is really paramount.”

“Workers who don’t share ownership of the robots will be reduced to political powerlessness far worse than their conditions today. We have the opportunity to solve this problem during the bootstrapping period while human labor is still needed for space industry.”

“Creating industry on the Moon and Mars and in space with asteroids is not rocket science; it is industrial engineering where we need to adapt existing technologies to a new environment.”

“I am convinced that it is possible for us to be united by our ideals, instead of divided by our differences.”

“Because planned economies have historically failed, new modeling techniques are needed.”

“Some asteroids are made of an iron-nickel-cobalt alloy. Others contain carbon. Combine those and you have steel alloy. A solar furnace can heat the mix to the point you can cast or roll it to shape. So structural parts are about the easiest thing to do.”
