The way I understood the Google X moonshot strategy is that they put the money behind some idea that seems farfetched or unorthodox. I fully understand $50M doesn&#x27;t mean anything to the industry as a whole, but you can&#x27;t tell me it wouldn&#x27;t impact any single early-stage idea or research direction.<p>Google is not looking to fund heart disease research in general, they&#x27;re going to fund one particular potential solution. One that&#x27;s probably not seeing any of that $20B at this moment. Probably because the idea is farfetched, risky and potentially not financially viable.
