So like what you said, you know, NASA has pages about this, but, you know, a lot of the advancements and technologies that benefit life on Earth come from space technology advancements.

So like solar panels, water purification systems, dietary formulas, material science innovations.

These are all from NASA, as in NASA has talked about how their work has advanced these things.

This stuff that benefits the average human.

On top of that, weather forecasting.

That's from satellites in space.

GPS, that's from satellites in space.

As you mentioned, Starlink communications is, you know, up until now, we mostly communicate with our cell phones and internet on a bunch of ground fiber, you know, around Earth.

Yeah.

And there's also, there's a lot of businesses that you might not be aware of that are based around satellite imagery, which to be fair, a lot of this is used by governments for defense manufacturing.

Yeah.

But there are real actual good use cases.

For example, the Brazilian government uses satellite imaging to see what's going on in the rainforest and can see like, okay, a narcotics operation is clearing forest land to build an airstrip and to like build out narcotics factories.

Yeah.

So there's, there's, you know, you, you actually care, I think as a, as an average person, this might reasonably affect your life in some way, but I think the big one to hone in on that we just talked about is Starlink because that's communications.

And let's look at Verizon's market cap.

It is $200 billion, right?

Like

Just one of the telecoms companies in America has a $200 billion market cap.

So if you imagine that Starlink and SpaceX, who owns Starlink, can expand that to the point that they are eating giant chunks of the telecoms industry, you're starting to see, okay, a lot of that $1 trillion valuation that SpaceX has, like maybe you can justify it if that just keeps growing and growing and growing.
