floating around exactly that's the only thing we got and this is again one of these maybe that's why there's been the full admittance of pivoting that we're not going to be doing this on mars soon we at least need to try this do on moon you know nasa's time frame has always been 2040s for mars so the international space stations are close now there is uh what's called the gateway this will be the moon space station this is already being built and

to get going and be put in orbit around the moon in the next couple of years, and then slowly build and work towards on the ground.

And it's not just the US.

China and Russia are working together on these plans as well.

So this is that future.

And it's going to take time.

Again, no different than building suburbs and cities and housing developments here in Australia and Earth.

It takes time to build all that infrastructure.

But that is what it's going to look like.

And it does seem like a big jump.

But there's been a lot of that in the background work to start making that stuff happen.

It's ambitious.

Yes.

Look, you know, I think Elon Musk thinks big.

And in some cases, that's good.

I think in some cases that does stretch reality.

We are talking about having a lot of this needing to get done by the time the Brisbane Olympics is going on.

Think of all the discussions of all the work that are needed for stadiums and everything being built in Brisbane.

But you want to do that on the moon, right?
