"As children, we all played marbles, flew paper airplanes and ran with the thin string in our hand, watching our kites lift off. Great minds have turned marbles into microchips, paper airplanes into drones and kites into satellites. Innovation is wonderful. Our nations benefit from advancements in technology, saving lives, expanding access to knowledge, connecting people and, of course, safety. Nothing comes before safety."
