Taking some cues from Triple H.
Okay, so one of the other things I'm involved with is asteroid mining.
I think this is the future.
I'm really excited.
I'm an advisor and on the scientific advisory board for a company called Planetary Resources, who is getting very serious about developing an economy in space, going out to asteroids like Bennu, particularly looking at the water.
It seems like the water is, you know, something like Bennu, we anticipate holds about five trillion dollars worth of water, which you can break up into hydrogen and oxygen and use for rocket fuel.
So just another activity that I'm involved with and looking forward to helping these folks get into outer space and really make it serious about human exploration of the solar system and becoming an interplanetary species.
And then finally, AP mentioned I do develop board games.
We just released our second game called Constellations, which is all about learning the patterns of the stars in the night sky and learning how they all fit together to create the view of the universe that we see from Earth.
And then Extranaut came out last year.
And it's about building rockets and going places.
And you can, you know, a lot of my personal experiences in here, you can fly Earth gravity assist to achieve a Bennu sample return mission.
So it's really there to get kids excited about space exploration, to teach them something while they're having fun.
And this actually did really well.
We were named the best family board game of 2016 by Good Housekeeping Magazine last year.
So it's getting some traction out there and it's been a really great way to share the adventure with a whole new generation of explorers.
So that's just a quick snapshot of what's going on.
I hope you see the value of my humanities education.
There was a reason I was drawn to the college as a college student and I really feel it expanded my world view.
It resonated with the kinds of things that I was thinking and wanting to do with my career.
