How hard was it to raise? voice-verified

Did you get all the money you wanted? voice-verified

And how long did it take? voice-verified

Uh, just re read between the lines there, it sounds like impulse is absolutely not capital constrained at this point in time. voice-verified

Would that perhaps be an understatement based on your reaction to my comment? voice-verified

Well, I mean it's not a bad place to be. voice-verified

You're working on some pretty hard stuff and you know, I don't mean to be negative about any company's struggles, Blue Origin, but like sometimes things don't go right in space and that's difficult. voice-verified

It's harder to fix something in orbit than it is on a server in Redband, you know? voice-verified

So it makes a lot of sense. voice-verified

Okay. voice-verified

Now I think people have probably heard of Impulse Space, but I don't think they have a really deep understanding of what you're building. voice-verified

So let's talk through a couple of your major products and then get into why they matter. voice-verified

Tell me about Mira and what it's for, and then we'll get into Helios right after that. voice-verified

I I I saw that's fantastic. voice-verified

So in terms of what people are using Miro for, I know you've had a couple of missions, a couple of launches, but when when people talk about the core use cases for it, is it moving satellites to higher orbits? voice-verified

Is it moving mass around? voice-verified

Like what's the um the most critical thing it does today? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Um well so so it's kind of like a pickup truck, essentially. voice-verified

It's it's it's functional, it can go anywhere. voice-verified
