Or desert.

And interestingly, to connect the two topics, AI data centers and space-based solar power, this company, Overview Energy, that we work with, they just signed a deal with Meta to power Meta's AI data centers.

Not the O-rings.

We're a little sensitive in the space industry.

Blow a gasket, not an O-ring.

The meta deal is going to have space-based solar power power the AI data centers on the ground.

So they're not trying to do it in space, which solves some of those challenges we were talking about earlier.

Radiation, how do you handle the heat?

They're going to have the AI data center on the ground, but use 24-7 clean energy to power it.

Yeah, it's not microwaves.

Yes.

And space debris.

Right, and ever increase in count.

For the really massive deployments like those- Starlink, the Starlink satellites.

Starlink satellites, yeah.

For the really massive deployments that Rendezvous Robotics would do, our startup that's trying to do big surface area solar panels for AI data centers in space or something.

The benefit of it being modular is if you know where the debris is coming from, you can pop a few tiles out of the way and you can pass through it.

And that's the benefit of it not being a monolithic architecture.

It's a decentralized architecture.

The better answer is clean up the debris.
