Which makes me very excited. voice-verified

But I'm curious what's what the impact that is on like the space talent market, which I presume is a smaller pool than say software developer. voice-verified

So uh I the last thing I want to do is is bang on about someone else's IPO. voice-verified

But I I am curious if you foresee a future in which after SpaceX does list that people uh become a little bit less attached to the mothership and might be more willing to to break off and come work for um what you might call the next SpaceX, like impulse. voice-verified

makes it a lot more feasible for more companies. voice-verified

Do you Yeah, when we're filling voice-verified

one. voice-verified
