Okay.

Great.

Both SpaceX and Tesla are voting towards 100 gigawatts a year of solar cell production.

I think you've got to do the whole thing from raw materials to finish the cell.

Now, if it's going to space, it's actually, it costs less and it's easier to make solar cells that go to space because they don't need glass or they don't need much glass and they don't need heavy framing because they don't have to survive weather events.

There's no weather in space.

So it's actually a cheaper solar cell that goes to space than the one on the ground.

Solar cells are already very cheap.

They're like farcically cheap.

And if you say...

You know, I think like solar cells in China are around like 25, 30 cents a watt or something like that.

It's absurdly cheap.

And when you take into account, now put it in space and it's five times cheaper because it's five times.

In fact, no, it's not five times cheaper.

It's 10 times cheaper because you don't need any batteries.

So the moment your cost of access to space becomes low, by far the cheapest and most scalable way to generate tokens is space.

It's not even close.

It'll be an order of magnitude easier to scale and chips aside, an order of magnitude.

The point is you won't be able to scale on the ground.

You just won't.
