Yes before I started Soylent I was completely bald.

At first I wasn't designing it as a product, but an experiment. I like sci-fi and I thought the name fit. I also like to troll and thought it would rile some of the people that were sure to be offended by the idea. The connotation is key because it exposes emotional bias.

It's a good name. Like the product itself, it's not pretty but it works.

Run a profitable business in the developed world and use a revenue-balancing model to profit in some areas and take a hit in other areas, thus ensuring the company continues to grow while providing it to as many people as possible.

That, and make it cheaper.

Soylent could potentially be used to facilitate a poor work / life balance. One of my fears is someone would turn down a social eating engagement to work and drink Soylent.

Yes. Can't discuss much at this early stage but I have heard from NASA's astronaut office.
