Speaking at a space summit, elon musk says he wants to build a city on mars. It is something we can do in our lifetimes and that you can go and is there really a way that anyone could go if they wanted to . That is really the important thing. It could taked between 40 and 100 years to create a selfsustaining civilization for as many as one Million People. So how does spacex pant to get us to mars . What kind of financing would a project like this need . Andessor of aeronautics astronautics scott hubbard. Incubatesis who space companies. Scott, i will start you. Do you believe we need to go to mars and why . Scott of course. I have been collecting reasons for the past 40 years. It is exploration. A he said, this could be hedge against future catastrophes. Emily do you believe we could face an extension event an extinction event here and we would need to go to mars to survive . Scott the dinosaur new day been come right . Needed a the dinosaurs space program, right . I am more interested in the science. im sure at some point, we will have a city on mars. Besides elon musk and spacex, there is a good dozen who have started on enabling technology. It makes complete sense of course. Emily the plan that must layout, do you see any that musk laid out, do you see any holes in it . Principle,s all in plausible pieces. But a scale that no one has ever attempted before. He is talking about a rocket that is four times the thrust of the saturn 5 here in so will it scale up . Who knows. But i wouldnt bet against elon musk. He has been successful. Emily why we need to get there more for explanation, a manned mission in the future. Scott i think this is extremely important and i think it would partnershipprivate and maybe an International Partnership as well. I dont see this as being just the u. S. And spacex. Emily talk to us about the funding of it. Obviously, its going to be extremely expensive. By traditional or conventional Means Committee costs 10 million a person to get out there. But elon musk wants to drop that to 200,000 a person. What do you think about his proposal to investors . Francois i think it is going to be a multiyear step business plan. And as we can compare that mission with the International Space stations, even if at the beginning it was only making. Ense for Research Purposes pretty soon, there will be a few people on mars. Maybe will maybe we will find new materials are properties for large corporates, it would make laboratoryvest in a or Research Center on mars. Then they could participate in the funding of the next stage. And then in 10 to 20 years when we have improved the [indiscernible] then it would be another Business Case for more People Like Us to go there. So it will take time. I would say that more in a stepbystep case. Showedemily a video at the event today detailing the plan, to the extent that they know them. Did that look right to you . Did you see any issues with it . Elon that is what spacex does it he admitted that. So the lifesupport, how do you support a hundred people in the months and months to get to mars . And then once youre there, he said you can live off the land, which i believe, but he did not show any of the equipment or necessary technologies to do this. And then there are other pieces, like on orbit refueling. That nasa hasing stated in the past. They never implemented it. A lot of engineering develop and. But the big picture comes together, i think. Emily how might you support life, even just getting there . Scott first of all, you need water. And then you need food. And as he said, the luggage and the other pieces that you carry with you. If he can truly build a vehicle this big, you can take a lot of that for your trip out. If youre going to build a civilization, you would have to cover all of the waterice ice we know about in mars into water and oxygen to breathe and to rocket fuel and so forth. I think thats feasible. And there will be an experiment in the future that nasa is when to do to show that is possible. But to this point, no one has shown that it can be on this kind of a scale. Francois, less question to you, quickly, do you believe outsourced of the hyperloop, a whole new wave of innovation, do you see this plan turning into the same thing, Smaller Companies out there trying to make it a reality . Francois i really believe they can be possible and it can be done the same way as it was done for the hyperloop. We see ourselves as the upward elon musk him a platform where we provide startups and innovation that will be enablers for life on mars. When you look, already we have startups with planetary resources and things i fed, deep space industry doing that. We have all the startups funded by nasa called made in space,. Hat are working on plans bigelow is another started testing right now. They have been experimenting. So yes, there are a dozen startups that are working on different streams. At some point, quicker access to life on mars for sure. Emily fascinating. I could talk to you guys about this for hours. Thank you both. Linkedin shares dipping on tuesday after regulators asked for more prefiling about the companys merger with microsoft. Microsoft says it thinks the deal will win unconditional approval this year. One yeary marks the anniversary of the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center in San Francisco. Bloomberg technology was there to congratulate the nasdaq. There you see our logo. Coming up, i sit down with bob griefeldlt bob next. Emily the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center here in San Francisco is celebrating its oneyear anniversary. The Nonprofit Organization is dedicated to providing education, resources and access for future entrepreneurs during we sat down with bob greifeld for an exclusive interview and i if unicorns should go public . Bob they need to make their own decisions. Theyve publicprivate market has been a remarkable success. If you try to stay private longer, you still need to provide liquidity to earlystage investors and to employees. When they reach the point that they are ready to go public, we want them to list with nasdaq. We also say, when you going public, it is an important fact that you have a sure business model. We want to make sure that a so we want to ensure a company at any stage in its business cycle. Emily how do you see i pierced the rest of this year and into next year . First, m a. There has been a lot them and day activity. Bob with the Interest Rate activity with the Interest Rate environment we have today, the amend a activity will m a i30 willhe mn da continue to be there. 64 good quality ipos, what is important to me, when you look the post public returns of ipos, they are outperforming the s p 500. You could not have said that for 2014 or 2015. When we look at our back law, we now have 116 companies in the backlog filed to go public. Thats higher than we had at this time last year. I think theres good signs. In addition, we had our best ipo week of the year just last week. Companies have them public, nine of them on nasdaq. Its exciting. So you feel the momentum. Won most of the ipos, the tech ipos. Bob 74 , not that we are counting. You pitch too companies these days of role why they should choose nasdaq . Bob we have a unique focus on our companies. Certainly, when you come public, you are facing an endless series of horrors. We have a unique set of Corporate Solutions and services to go through that evolution and face the grind of being a public company. Very proud obviously of our market, our market structure, how we treat for those investors in those companies. Emily your business is evolving as well. You bought three options exchanges. Cboe now buying bets. Competitor dole a you expect them to be . Model isbusiness different from those two companies. Today, we have 75 of our revenue based on nontransactional businesses. And we are a fin tech player to about 15,000 companies around the world. So those are two good transactionfocused companies. There will be synergies they can realize. But strategically doesnt change either one of them. We love our transaction business , 20 5 of our revenue. We expect to do well in it, but it is a bit a different business model. The cash equity platform after the acquisition, would you be in a position to buy that . Our not relative to strengths in the equity market today. We like our position in equities. Like i said, we won 74 of the ipos. We have an arsenal of tools that we have that are unmatched right now. I think its important to recognize an exchange. The transaction part of an exchange is an exact a policy. Ion the marginal cost of doing the next trade, the next contract some of the next transaction is zero. That is the logic for why you want to put two organizations together. You because you have one plan, to plans, and you can recognize benefit to your shareholders, to your customers. That will always be an undercurrent in the exchange world. Will be front and center, but it will always be there. Emily there are often large shifts happening right now. Speed bounce for highfrequency trading. Had you see this evolving . Bob right now, we are proud of what we should use to the marketplace. Thats a long life order. The biggest thing in exchange can do is to control the priority of who gets excluded gets executed first. If you put your order in for a longer period of time, we will move you to the top of the q so you are the next person getting executed. If you are faster, but not living to commit to time, then you will be lower in the priority queue. I think this has a positive impact because people can choose to opt in and to do that. But they dont have to. Is no Penalty Associated where there. No delay associated with it. The certainly a reward if you are able to provide liquidity to the market for a certain period of time, which is longer than others. Landscapeiously, the is changing quickly. What is the nasdaq response to this . How to you how do you rise to the changing competition . Bob bob on the listing side, i think it is remarkable the amount of services we provide to our companies and that directly correlates from [indiscernible] have a greatg to market open and we do a phenomenal job year. Redo a phenomenal job back in new york city. But we uniquely, compared to any exchange through our customers, through the whole process of being a public company. On the transaction side, the trading of the stock, when you look at our option technology, opening closing the market, it is the best in the industry. Long life order, i think it is a major positive innovation. Compared to speed bumps, it is a positive development for investors. I think that is when to help us quite dramatically. Emily what about when the unexpected happens . What internal controls you have . . You rely too heavily on technology. Quiteok has gone on to do well, but what are the internal controls you have in place when the and happens, when crashes happen . Bob that is something we live with all the time. In addition to providing liquidity for our own markets, we also are a Technology Provider to 90 other exchanges around the planet. So when we think about what we are doing in a given day and have we depend upon technology, we have two build tremendous rigor into how we develop, release and support our products. In every step of that product, we are truly worldclass. With technology, you are to be perfect, but you have to aspire to be perfect, but then you have to come up with remediation plans when you have a technology snafu. I think we are also worldclass with that. We are pervasive and influences everything we do. Emily that was nasdaq ceo bob greifeld. Spikeok benefiting from a apps. Emily u. S. Regulators are claiming Palantir Technologies discriminate against asians. The Labor Department alleges they rely on a system of employee referrals. Toulators are asking a judge award lost wages and benefits of employment to the applicants. Palantir denies any allegations of bias.

Mobile apps, helping counter concerns about clintons decision to leave the eu steve hatch spoke about the referendum impact with Caroline Hyde. Guest one of the things ive we may that brexit not know what it means in totality, but it has meant the people i thinking a little differently about the marketplace. Marketplace within this country and the marketplace within europe, but also now beginning to say, ok, what does this global marketplace look like and how do i drive in it . Caroline are they still looking internationally as they are willing to mystically . Steve yes. The u. K. Has a very strong community. 31 Million People using facebook to date. The key to it is the 97 of them will be doing it on a mobile phone. Its really the mobile phone revolution that we have seen across the world that has created greater levels of kang greater levels of connectivity for all businesses. 4 million active advertisers on facebook globally. In fact, the uk is in the top five in terms of growth year on year. Thats really just the start. When weve looked into the data, what we have seen is that there are 300 Million People that are connected to at least one British Business here in the u. K. So the opportunity to say to think maybe a little essa bancorps and boundaries and more about audience in opportunity seems to be something that is really resonating. The brexitnnan anxiety that we saw, the build up, that hasnt knocked u. K. s placement in u. K. In facebook at all . In terms of advertisers, given the growing level of engagement boosting on mobile with people, that is certainly something that is motivating all advertisers. In the u. K. And in most developed countries, we see people spending to a half hours , doingay on their phone different things. In fact, the mobile has added an additional two hours to the time overwe spent doing stuff the last years, watching stuff, browsing stuff, and buying stuff. The u. K. Is the most developed mobile Commerce Market in europe. Come in the next and he five minutes, over a Million Pounds will be spent through mobile. The projections are that that is going to, in this country, rice to 50 billion by 2020. So the Market Opportunity that mobile represents in the growth of commerce, just in u. K. , its substantial. So thinking about that not just in u. K. , but also overseas as well. Its the main topic of conversation at times.
