Yeah, look, it's trying to create, you know, replicate the human process, experience, but yes, on a different object.

You know, we talk about building new suburbs, new cities, growth and housing crisis here in Australia and on Earth.

What you're trying to do is essentially create that.

And part of this larger goal, and this is not just Elon Musk and SpaceX, but just space in general, is trying to actually create a space economy.

So if you think about it right now, everything that goes into space is actually from the Earth, made on the Earth, and then launched up.

You want to get to the point where you're actually –

building and creating in space from stuff in space, then you're creating your own self-sustaining entity.

And so a lot of this is examples like food stores.

How do you have enough food and storage of that to create that?

How do you have the buildings and equipment to do that on the moon?

Now, you're never going to be 100 percent, especially in technology and electronics.

But this is the not that long term goal that a lot of the groups are trying to get to, because if you want to do this on Mars, you have to try and get it right on the moon first, because at least.

The moon is kind of the safe test case.

If something were to really, really, really go wrong, you can get back to the Earth in a few days, right?

None of that is an option on Mars, right?

Once you are there, you're pretty much not getting back where if you are, it's going to take at least six months.

So nothing is quick or solvable.

So you want to be self-sustaining in the future space enterprises.

We're talking about just at least simple infrastructure.
