This is such an amazing story, this is how start ups should start up. It shouldn't be some dumbass has a dumb idea and throws money at it until it doesn't work and then everyone gets laid off. Y'all worked with what you had until you proved you could make more. Glad to see you all so successful and I hope it continues!

Thanks for doing an AMA, I hope you all can keep this idea going throughout all of NASAs programs!

This one is for Brian, but if anyone else has any input, it's perfectly welcome! What sort of advice can you give to a student wanting to write software in the astrophysics field, or for NASA specifically?

This one is for Veronica and DC, getting the general public interested in space programs of any sort seems to be very difficult these days. What are you all trying to do differently to get people's attention? Are there perhaps ideas that you've tried that have gotten shot down by upper management? What news/social media campaign are you most proud of?

I believe that soon enough VASIMR will start replacing solid-fuel rockets. What sort of changes do you think will need to happen before that switch can be made?

What are your thoughts on using thorium to power space stations or ships?
