SpaceX and Boeing in 2016 each got contracts to send astronauts to the International Space Station. So SpaceX got a $2.4 billion contract. Boeing got a $4.2 billion contract. In 2020, SpaceX sent the first astronaut at the International Space Station, and they've done 45 missions since 2020, just to the International Space Station. Boeing is delayed, over budget, and keep failing.

So the large primes aren't getting it done. And we've seen this now play out in space industry. And you're gonna see the same thing play out in the shipbuilding industry, where again, I know it sounds crazy.

That a two and a half year old company is the company that's going to invest billions of dollars and recreate the shipbuilding industry and build this shipyard from the ground up and build thousands of autonomous boats and hundreds of autonomous ships. And this is going to be the future of the Navy. Sounds crazy because it is crazy. But it doesn't mean it's not true.

I'm sure they are. I'm sure they are. But I don't think it's malicious. I think in some cases... some primes genuinely believe that they can go and do this. And in our, in our case, I think there's some primes that genuinely believe they can go and build autonomous ships at the speed and scale that the Navy needs and that there's no way that Serana can do it. And that's okay.

There should be other people in the market doing things. Like, The government shouldn't shut down, the Navy shouldn't stop and say, hey, Dino tells a great story, we're good, they're gonna reinvent shipbuilding, and everybody all stop. Charonix got it. No. Proof's gonna be in the pudding. Who's gonna actually go and do it? Who's gonna put their money where their mouth is, and who's gonna execute?

I'll tell you, we are. So the only thing we ever ask for is, yeah, let the Prime lobby. They should be telling their story. They should be trying to build things. Keeps us hungry, keeps us paranoid. But don't create a monopolistic environment where things are awarded without competition. Just let us compete fairly. And if a prime beats us and you want to go buy that ship, you should do that.

That's what is best for the country. The best thing for the country is having an open competition, seeing who can actually do it, who can stand behind what they were gonna say. And I'll tell you, over the last three years, every single thing we have told a customer, we have stood behind and we have delivered every time. On time, on budget, with zero exceptions.
