I think it's been like, you know, sort of two weeks since, you know, sort of confirmation.
Um, uh there hasn't been any like super broad uh policy announcement yet yet.
Um but uh the place where he started to drop some news has actually just been like via his Twitter profile, which has yeah, been a fun place to, you know, sort of follow along.
Um
Yeah.
Uh or X profile.
Yeah.
Uh probably my favorite one is um there's a program called Dragonfly um that NASA's been working on for a while, which is basically this um uh uh so the first time that we ever flew a helicopter on a um you know uh non uh Earth planet uh was on Mars um with uh Ingenuity, I believe it was called, um which is this helicopter that we got on Mars.
Um sort of related to that, it's you know a different program, um, but it's a program called Dragonfly, where it's roughly like a small car-sized vehicle that is meant to
You fly on a Titan.
Um Titan is one of the uh oh god, and I should not mess it up, but it's one of the uh what's it called?
Um uh moons of Saturn.
Either Saturn or Jupiter.
Um, you know, I'm a big enough space that I should know.
But what's cool about it um is Titan uh both has four times uh the density of atmosphere as Earth does, um, but also basically seven times less gravity.
Um and so with the combination of the two, you basically make it like 30 times easier to fly.
Um and so you and I kind of
literally just like be on the surface of Titan and literally basically just like wear some wings and like if you just ran like relatively quickly like you don't have to even be Usain bolt like even at our level of fitness you can basically just go and flap our wings and like we would basically start flying and with like a little bit of like exoskeleton or anything like that you could 100% like fly as much as you
Is it?
Um and so Dragonfly is this like small car-sized, like flying car basically with like a nuclear battery on board.
