I was going to say a base in space.

How long till we complete this race?

I was trying to have a little rhyme fun here, but you jumped in.

That's fair enough.

Mr. Administrator, can you tell us what would this be able to do?

And are we setting up the basic infrastructure here?

for a whole new generation or new generations of space travel, leveraging space for things here on Earth, including low Earth orbit, things like the data centers that will be able to be put there.

I mean, what does the future of this look like?

I know this amazing launch is coming up, but what's going to be happening after?

Can you speak to some of the commercial and national security applications of space exploration as it's lined up?

I mean, you just laid out for us what the timeline is.

But I think, for example, one of the amazing things that SpaceX has done is by creating...

Internet essentially beamed down from satellites.

There's a whole commercial application now for this.

And SpaceX is obviously putting satellites into space for private entities.

So there's commercialization.

So I know there's more commercial options that this will lay the pathway for.

Can you speak to that?

And also why, from a national security perspective, space, NASA, what's going on right now with this program is so important?

Why have so many people gone so crazy?
