They're going to help us do all that below-ground housing.

You do.

I got a five step plan.

You do?

Yes.

Oh, do tell.

So get them self-assembling first.

So pack them flat in a rocket, get that IKEA furniture.

Fine.

Pop them out like a little PEZ dispenser.

The magnets help the tiles self-assemble.

The first structure is a sphere because we want a microgravity lab because we want to do biotech research that we can't do there.

And for scientists like where I come from, from MIT, all of that.

But then the future absolutely is to try to tessellate structures and then spin them.

And so at Aurelia Institute, our nonprofit where we do all of this space architecture research, we've just released a paper on artificial gravity and our particular take on it.

Earth's magnetic field.

Got to consider that when we have magnets.

Yes, space junk.
