The Spirit of St. Louis
Buy on Amazon"And I’m making notes in the margin of the book, The Spirit of St. Louis, again, that Lindbergh published in 1957 won the Pulitzer Prize!"
The Spirit of St. Louis
Buy on Amazon"And so as I’m reading this book, The Spirit of St. Louis, I’m like, ‘I have to do a prize like this for space flight because I’m not going to get a chance of becoming a government astronaut or slim.’"
The Spirit of St. Louis
Buy on Amazon"And so in the back of The Spirit of St. Louis that I’m reading—that my friend Greg gave me to finish my pilot's license, which I eventually did at the end—I wrote the words XPRIZE!"
The Singularity Is Near
Buy on Amazon"Long story; I was carrying Ray's book, 'The Singularity is Near,' which is an interesting title, and he just came out with a new book, 'The Singularity is Nearer.'"
