So I think as we do the calculus on all of this, we'll end up realizing that the moon is probably the best frontier.

One of the biggest issues is dissipating heat because you don't have an atmosphere.

But theoretically, you could recapture that heat

and use like helium gas or something to turn a turbine and actually run production of even more electricity.

You just put a couple solar panels out.

I did the math on this.

It's like 500 square meters of solar panels will let you run a four kilometer mass driver to ship material back to the earth every 10 to 15 minutes.

One ton of material every 10 to 15 minutes.

So you could think about having autonomous mining vehicles deployed on the moon, processing the ore and then sending completely processed material back.

And then for a heat shield for reentry to the earth, you just use moon rock.

You only need about 15 centimeters of moon rock at the front of the package.

And then that'll burn up when it reenters the atmosphere and the package, you know, kind of parachutes down and lands where you want it to land in your industrial shipyard or whatever.

So there's just like, you know, I think we'll continue to kind of iterate on this.

I'm speculating in a bunch of different ways.

Well, I mean, dude, going, like, like, yeah.

Well, imagine Jake Powell, like.

Can you guys just imagine, like, the middle or the early 19th century, like, the late 1700s, early 1800s in America, and there's, like, all this land out on the west, and, like, whatever people were contemplating in that moment about what they were going to go do with that land on the west, and they started to travel west,

their minds would have been blown to see what happened 100 years later.

We're now 150 years later.

That's the moment that we're at right now.
