“From early childhood, I set out to convey a profound and positive impact on the long-term future of humanity, to make the world a better place for the generations to come. As we continue forwards in our collective journey, scaling the cosmic ladder of evolution, progressing onwards, and expanding outwards to other worlds to become a multiplanetary species—Earth becomes a destination, as well as a point of origin. Early on, I committed my life purpose to the singular objective of ensuring that integrity, balance and ethical responsibility hold paramount importance as priorities, in both scientific research and in principal government leadership, as we’re collectively propelled forwards as a species. With unprecedented leaps and bounds of progress in our scientific understanding—enabled by the development of converging and expanding exponential technologies—newfound, unexpected discoveries await, just over the horizon.”
