So, uh, you know, we have a commercial. Did you see the movie contact?
There's a line in contact. It's it's classic. where they build this device that has been received from the array, the VLR in Socorro, New Mexico. They get the signal and then they build the device and they test it out and it breaks. And they think everything is lost. And classically, the guy says, why build one when you can build two for twice the price?

And they had built another facility in Japan where they were able to go forward. When we built the Cape, it was the same thing. We built the Cape here in Florida. We built a mirror facility on the West Coast. And- Vandenberg? Vandenberg Air Force Base. And when I was working in the Cold War, installing software. There was a day I had a pass to be on base to install software.

And I finished early and I had a rental car. It's a beautiful base. It's over 60 miles along the coast, rolling green hills. And I asked, I said, can I explore your base? And they said, yeah. And I said, is there any place I shouldn't go? And they said, don't worry. If you go, they're going to let you know. So we didn't have cell phones in those days.

We had little Instamatic cameras and the 35 millimeter films and he dropped the whole camera off and they developed the film. So I had one of those cameras with me. And so I'm driving along and all of a sudden I came from this hilltop and I could see the Pacific ocean and I got out. And as I looked down from the hill in front of me, there is an entire launch facility.

I mean, it looks like Cape Canaveral, you know? And all of a sudden up the road, a couple of MPs and Jeeps, they came pretty fast. They came up and they said, we're going to have to ask you to leave. and confiscate your camera. They said, we're gonna have to take your camera. And I said, okay, but can you tell me what I'm looking at? And he said, well, this is slick six. I said, what's slick six?

And he said, it is the West coast equivalent of the Cape. And so the Cape, when we do a commercial launch has to be broadcast commercially. on the West Coast, those are military launches, and they don't have to be. They don't have to be broadcast. So I have not seen the launch. People have told me that we continued with a few launches after what was the end of the Apollo.

And it was during the Cold War. I'm not surprised. It was during the Cold War. So, for example, SDI worked on a project called SDI, Star Wars Defense Initiative. To test SDI, we had to take those weapons into space on the space shuttle. Well, once you've got them there, you're not going to bring them home. So they're already deployed. So we've had space weapons, you know, since the Cold War years.
