About this Quote

Ralph Merkle's quote suggests that advancements in products science will have a positive impact on the cost of air flight and rocketry. By developing lighter and stronger materials, the cost of air flight and rocketry will be reduced. This is since lighter products need less energy to raise and propel, and stronger products can endure more tension and pressure, suggesting that less material is needed to build a craft. This will lead to a decrease in the expense of materials, in addition to the cost of fuel. Additionally, lighter and stronger materials will also lower the weight of the craft, which will even more minimize the cost of air flight and rocketry. Eventually, Merkle's quote recommends that advancements in materials science will have a favorable influence on the expense of air flight and rocketry.
