That's fantastic.

The the

very least we're staying in gundo, like some other unnamed gundo companies that have gone.

Yeah, so Raymaker is making Earth habitable by making it precipitate more, more rain and more snow in arid environments.

So farms that don't have enough water, ecosystems that need to be restored, and cities in arid regions that need water.

Um, we're making that happen with advanced remote sensing.

So radar, LIDAR, satellite data.

We're using open source stuff and some own uh some things of our own that we're gonna tease a little bit later in the month.

Um, our own radar to find the right clouds to seed and then fly our own severe weather resistant and anti-icing capable drones into those clouds, um, spraying a mineral called silver iodide that freezes the liquid in the cloud into big enough snowflakes so that they uh fall and stay as snow, or if it's warm beneath the cloud, melt back into rain.

Uh between you, me, and uh not the federal aviation administration.

Um, no, we've crashed we've crashed dozens of drones.

Um we uh we have one corporate value at Rainmaker, um, and it's that we like the taste of blood in our mouth.

Um and that's sort of an extension of like uh, you know, the Elon thing about chewing glass, it's kind of just a bummer, right?

And like building a deep tech company is especially hard.

But if you pav love yourself into loving interfacing with reality in such a way that you get like good feedback, you learn how you failed, you learn what to do better next time.

Um, you end up with a bunch of people kind of like uh Rocky, you know, that like just fight harder and do better the the more they get punched in the face.

And so um we've crashed a lot of drones on snowy, wet, cold mountaintops and uh everyone's better for it.

Yeah, I'm uh I'm going back to Tennessee uh this year because they're actually trying to elevate the punishment for weather modification to a criminal offense.

Um and uh in addition to that, I'm gonna go to Florida.
