And the assault on data center builds outs in the United States right now, I think, may indicate the importance of having an alternative internet.

From the ground layer up, if you have a communication network that isn't restricted and controlled by a government on Earth, it's almost like a backup for civilization, but it's a backup for progress.

And I don't own any SpaceX shares, and I'm not trying to sell the book of SpaceX, but I think that there's like an important aspect of, can you create a system that's not under the control of governments as a way to ensure humanity's progress, to ensure a civilizational continuity if things go south, if things aren't good, if things are restricted, and if fundamental forms of tyranny start to restrict speech, restrict commerce, restrict information flow and whatnot.

And I think having a space-based communication network, space-based data centers, and space-based communication back down to Earth, wireless, I think is generally a good thing.

So put all the economics aside and the multiples and the valuations and whatnot, and whether it's SpaceX or not,

I think the idea that you could have data centers store information, transmit information, route information, and access information through space-based systems that can't be controlled, manipulated, or destroyed by governments is important.
