Quotes
Moonshots live in the gray area between audacious projects and pure science fiction; instead of mere 10% gains, they aim for 10x improvements. The combination of a huge problem, a radical solution, and the breakthrough technology that might just make that solution possible is the essence of a Moonshot. - [|Solve for X]

Moonshots challenge the status quo with a healthy disregard for the impossible, while still maintaining a level of practicality. The outcome? Instead of a mere 10% gain, moonshots aim for 10 times the improvement. - [|Richard Branson]
