An Afternoon With Russian Space Guru Yuri Milner

Yuri Milner is a billionaire from Russia. I was honored to be in a meeting with him yesterday. I heard him talk about life on other celestial bodies. He has a phenomenal knowledge of space as an astronomer or astrophysicist does. He also talked about allegations that he had improperly received investments from the Russian government. He gave a frank and honest defense. He pointed out that the investments were received in 2009 when the US and Russia still had good relations. He pointed out that Hillary Clinton blessed the deal and got Americans to invest in Russia at the same time. He pointed out that he returned the money to Russian investors in 2014 when relations soured. (His clients bought when share prices were low and made a big profit when share prices went up.) I believe him. Yuri is intelligent, charming, and really bright.
