I was sitting randomly with actually the CEO of Lockheed and it was interesting because I asked him, I was like, well, what about all these new competitors that you have?

You have, you know, SpaceX as a competitor in many ways.

And he was like, well, they're not really a competitor.

And I just thought that's fascinating.

Like you really don't think of them as a competitor because of course you make all these different things like actual computers.

You know, weapons and, you know, all sorts of systems.

But I think he is even still somehow underestimated in the markets that he plays, which is wild because this week I also saw the first SpaceX launch I'd ever seen.

Have you ever seen the rocket in the sky?

It was wild.

I didn't go to the launch site.

I was just in Ojai, and that's by where they launch in California.

And it looks like a shooting star, but then it gets wider and wider and wider in the sky.

So it looks like it's kind of coming back down, but I guess that's just what it looks like when you're breaking through the atmosphere.

And it was so incredible.

And I remember I turned to somebody that I was sitting there with, and I was like, oh, that's incredible.

Look at that.

And he's like, ha!

We see him all the time.

And so just the normalization of what he's done and also the fact that he's still like sort of disregarded is incredible.

Like if you think you're not going to have haters and if you think people are going to applaud you at some point, I think he's a great person to look at to realize probably never.
