Yeah, all the time.

The craziest one that's doing well and might actually pull it off, there's a space fusion company.

What does that mean?

Literally, there are these nuclear scientists at the national laboratories,

They're in their late 30s, early 40s, but they've been working on fusion at the National Labs for years.

And they came back with these simulations from their research.

Fusion on the planet is very, very expensive due to gravity.

But they have a simulation and a design that shows if you're in space, you can do real fusion at a scale that is actually viable.

And they're basically, they have to see about it.

It's kind of like falling in love.

You're like, oh man, should I change my flight?

Or, you know, it's like, this is off my plan, man.

Like, this is not what I was trying to do.

But like, I got to see about a girl, right?

That's what it feels like for some of these founders.

Yeah, that sounds great.

Yeah.

So they raised, I think, $4 or $5 million.

And these are not normal, beaten path, worked at Google, went to Stanford kind of people.

They are actually the smartest possible scientists to do it.
