But yes, we definitely saw that the stronger excitement was towards the younger adult end of the spectrum with nearly one in four.

So 24% Gen Z said that they actually watched live.

17% of millennials saying the same.

I do think the launch might have symbolized different things for different age groups in Australia, though.

We did see some differences in some of the sentiment questions that we asked people on a scale of one to five, how much do you agree or disagree with this statement?

And one of the statements that stood out to me in saying that is we asked people, events like Artemis II are a welcome reminder of what humans could achieve when we work together.

And then we asked them to agree or disagree with that.

Well, most people, you're right, did agree, but the level of agreement was strongest in the older adult populations.

That's interesting.

Than in Gen Z and millennials.

So even though more than half of Gen Z and millennials both agreed with that, so 54% of Gen Z, 57% of millennials, there was stronger overall agreement with Gen X and baby boomers there.

So

I do think that might hint or point at at least some portion of each of those younger populations, maybe a sense of nihilism perhaps in what's possible in the global stage.

They're in the middle.

You're right.

They don't feel strongly one way or another.

I would say it is, especially when we see the other data around this that helps contextualize the excitement.

There's not many, I think, government-funded initiatives that people aren't super cynical about right now.

So to see that demand across the board when you look at even age here in terms of what should be invested in, it is quite amazing.

Yes, and one of the groups here that we looked at that was more favorable to space investment was really surprising to me.
