So yeah, I mean, what you're doing is uh, you know, generally using RF to contact a satellite that is like hundreds of kilometers away.
Um, you need to concentrate enough power to be able to do that.
So that's why you see
the big parabolic dishes, it's concentrating power.
Um
Um and so when you're you know further away that requires more tower more power.
So actually um if you're you know in the Palo Alto area you go by the um the Stanford dish is kind of a well known one.
I imagine like some folks uh if they're watching might know of that.
Um it's massive it's uh a giant dish that's used to make that contact.
And so it's interesting because like the legacy of space
It's more exploratory.
It's more research-based, where like booking an antenna is kind of more like booking a telescope, you know, where it's like a an individual piece of equipment where, you know, they're located at these different locations around the world.
Yeah.
You book the time, you're kind of in control of how that functions and how it operates.
Uh, but as the space industry has been scaling, um, that's not really a sustainable model to think of like.
As you're needing to coordinate, you know, tens or hundreds of different sites to think about that individual booking and coordination.
And with that, we kind of like to analogize, analogize to network routing for the internet, where it's like you're not thinking of every single router and network switch.
You kind of trust in a network that can reliably deliver that data.
And so that's something that we're starting to think about about how this space industry is going to
evolve in terms of communication, going from
