Man, coming from the outside, like the conversation I had with our main space systems guy of like, how do we like, how do we get our satellite back from the Vatican? He's like, it's just a naming thing. Like, it's not a big deal. I was like, no, tell me it's a big deal. I want to believe this is a huge deal.
