It's slow, but it's cheap, and it's effective.
It just gets you across the world.
Inside of the harbor, once you get to Oakland, there's a tug that moves you around where you're supposed to go, and then there's a bunch of last-mile infrastructure.
In space, we have the rockets now, which is the ocean freight, but where are the space tugs that are moving us in between orbits and doing a bunch of kind of finer-tuned delivery?
That's in the space industry what we call OTVs, orbital transit vehicles.
Wow.
someone is going to make a shit ton of money doing OTVs.
And we all know that.
And sometimes people outside of the space industry wouldn't know that.
So that's a great example of, I think, unusual information, like useful knowledge from being so intimately integrated into the space industry that helps advise our strategy as VC investors.
When I was a kid, I was growing up with two Air Force pilot parents.
So my dad was an A-10 fighter pilot.
My mom was one of the first women to get to fly in the United States Air Force as a female pilot.
And they raised my brother and I to love science fiction.
So they have this service model of leadership in their mind from having served the country.
They love exploration and aviation.
And then they had us read all of the things that would be the next chapter after that.
So the joke is, how do you surpass double pilot parents?
You got to go to space.
That's the only thing left.
