During this time, the company's valuation reached a billion dollars, former US intelligence officers and astronaut Chris Hadfield appeared among the management, but Kokorich himself was recognized as a threat to US national security and banned by his own company on Twitter. According to him, this is due to his Russian origin. After leaving Momentus, Kokorich went to Switzerland, where a few months ago he founded a new company, Destinus. It is planned that it will be able to deliver cargo in a matter of hours, which now takes almost a week to transport. To do this, Kokorich came up with the idea of ​​creating a new type of transport - a hybrid of a rocket and an airplane. Over the past 70 years, our guest adds, nothing new has been done in aviation since the advent of turbines. The entrepreneur is confident that he has taken into account all the mistakes he made in his previous companies, including Technosila, Astro Digital, Dauria Aerospace. "I'm at the peak of my career," the businessman says. In this interview, Kokorich told why American regulators disliked him, how investors reacted to this, how to continue moving forward after major defeats, why a person needs space and what he thinks about extraterrestrial life.
