And I, of course, like to think about the first power that you put on another world.

Like, if you put a megawatt on the moon or on Mars, distributing that will, like, set the precedent for how you do things.

Like what the technology type will be.

Will you plug into a DC thing or will you plug in the two prongs that we're used to

think the big can of oil, the big bucket of oil thing for the transformer is hard on Mars.

Yeah, exactly.

It's limiting.

So it's

of steel and oil.

We went like super nerdy on this, which is perfect.

But our reactor, like fundamentally it makes DC power because we actually run a really compact power generator.

Perfect narrative.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

It's civilization anew.

Right.

And it can grow from the edges where our system makes sense for people with a critical need for power, for resilient energy at a military base or hospital or for disaster relief.

Yeah.

And I think the reason you have to use AC actually is the way to move that power.
