In the end, for me, it became like this, I remember the moment, and we talk about these moments as a scientist, and we were just, like, we were working so hard about figuring out, like, does this really, would this really work?

Like, and it's complex.

Like, does the magnet work?

Does the interaction with the plasma work?

Does all these things work?

And it was just a grind, push, push, push, push.

And I remember the moment, because I was sitting,

In my office in Brookline, and there was just, like, I read, like, and I was in, I don't know, whatever, the 20th or 40th slide or something into it.

And it was sort of that moment, like, it just came together.

And I, like, I couldn't even sit down, because all it was just, like, my wife was like, why are you walking around the apartment like this?

Like, I just couldn't, I said, it's going to work.

Like, it's going to work.

Like, holy cow.

That moment of realization is, like, kind of amazing.

But it also brings the responsibility of making it work.

Yeah, yeah.

But it's interesting that Eater is, that one of the reasons that, like, we started with a group of six of us at MIT, and then once we got some funding through the establishment of the company, it became slightly larger.

But in the end, we had a rather small team.

Like, this was like a team of, you know, order of like 20 to 25 people designed Spark in like about two years, right?

Yeah.
