What are your thoughts on the U.S.

versus China versus any nation?

To what extent is this kind of a geopolitical race?

Could you explain more how it is the high ground?

I mean, one thing that I've been starting to hear more about is, you know, whoever gets to the moon and establishes a base on the moon or on Mars, they can sort of claim it.

And now we're hearing more about sort of space wars.

I mean, it seems that this is like really the next frontier in terms of power, conflict.

I mean...

Why do you think that wouldn't happen?

Why is that something that we shouldn't worry too much about?

So something you mentioned earlier, Peter, is the idea of data centers in space.

And this is something that a lot of people have been talking about.

Elon Musk has been talking about it a lot.

Are you excited about this as an industry?

Do you think this is something that'll work?

Do you think that this is the next step in terms of the space industry?

Why are they better in orbit than on Earth on the ground?

What are you most excited about in the space industry right now?

And we talked about data centers, but what's the thing that makes you most excited when you're working every day at this point?

Is space exploration one of those things that motivates you?
