I mean, you know, exploring the world beyond ours is the greatest adventure in human history.
We can launch more rovers now to Mars, more probes, more telescopes to look back into the
to the beginning of our universe thanks to this reusable technology.
And it's not just SpaceX anymore.
Blue Origin has this capability.
Rocket Lab is doing it.
I mean, what they did was a game changer, and they're about to change it all over again now with Starship, where both the first half of the rocket and the upper half are going to be reusable.
That's going to be a light switch moment for humanity.
Sure.
I mean, I think the answer is it's probably somewhere in that 10 to 20 year timeline.
But I'll tell you, this is why it's so imperative to return to the moon and build the moon base.
So where we are targeting to build the base that President Trump called for in his space policy is the South Pole.
And in the permanently shaded regions of the South Pole of the moon, you have water ice.
So when we land there, when we build the base, we are going to work with that ice and use it to make propellant.
And that's going to be key because I'll tell you, when you see American astronauts step foot off the Artemis IV lander and are on the moon, know at that point in time we have the capability to send astronauts to Mars.
The hard part is how do you bring them home.
And when they're there, they're going to have to make their own propellant to make that return voyage, and we will master those skills on the south pole of the moon, and then we'll be ready to undertake that grand journey.
So it's 6.24 p.m.
at Kennedy Space Center.
That's when our launch window opens.
