Go watch some if you haven't before. Its one of the best kept secrets of the web. Absolutely fantastic thinkers delivering excellent talks in HD.
This was just the intro to his speech. In the video he did not tell us ANYTHING. As in, NOTHING. We just know he's a bigshot who's only moral compass is to conquer the universe. He essentially asked the question 'are you ready to go?' without telling us where/how/why, which is whats coming next....
I predict in the coming videos (TED talks are usually released as a single clip, but I think they'll release things in parts over the coming months) Weyland will tell us about traveling the universe, some type of engine tech that allows this, the ship itself, and possibly terraforming. Whether he talks about 'everything' or just the starting tech that is about to come, doesn't matter...
In summary, the first video we saw (which was brilliant) was not a TED talk, it was an intro to a TED talk. Every talk begins with a concept, then elaborates on it immensely in a mind-blowing way. Examples:

If Weyland was chosen for a TED talk, then he must really have something interesting to share....
