You guys want to help out with it?

I was like, yes, every time, yes.

Just because I think there's such, like there's just such inherent virtue in space exploration that it's always worth doing.

And one of the, yeah, one of the projects that

The folks at NASA Ames did is they built a, what's called the Astra B. It's a cube shaped robot that's like 18 inches on a side.

And it's, they've got, I think, three of them inside the International Space Station.

They got fans on each side and they free fly around inside the space station and they help astronauts fly.

to do their work.

They can do some kind of like surveillance tasks inside the space station, measuring things.

They could look over the astronaut's shoulder and give ground mission control like an over-the-shoulder view.

And that runs Ross.

Knowing that there's some code that we wrote that's up there is just extraordinary.

So for me, if you ask like, where do I want to take this?

I want to see robotics and automation broadly construed.

It doesn't have to look like a robot arm.

It doesn't have to look like a humanoid.

Like what I just described, it's a cube with fans on the sides.

Still, it's a cool robot.

I want to see that technology go as broad as possible.

So, you know, at Intrinsic today, we are building a business and it makes a lot of sense to focus on manufacturing as an industry.
