You know, great question. When we talk about space exploration, right, a lot of times people think of like a Falcon 9 rocket, Saturn 5, or a space shuttle. And these are all wonderful examples that should come to mind. But this is what we need to get to space, right? You've got to climb against a gravitational well, right? if you will, and get into space.

But when you get into space and you want to try and move through space, right, the things that you might use to solve that problem in an optimal sense might look very differently from the idea of rockets to get you to space. And so through space is a lot of things that we can bring to bear. But this gets into, I think, a larger framework I'd like to unpack with you today.

to talk about this through space type of thought process. But since you specifically asked about warp, I'm going to kind of jump forward. I'm going to jump forward on the discussion thread.

Okay. Well, let's use that as a teaser. Let's back up then. And so I provided a video that we pulled together called Go Incredibly Fast. I did it with a Swedish digital artist, Eric Orenquist. He's done a bunch of wonderful videos for NASA and a bunch of other friends. But this video kind of encapsulates – the challenge of time and distance in space.

If you want to send human beings past Mars and the solar system, that sets up a problem statement that changes the nature of the types of technologies that you might think about bringing to bear to solve the problem. And so this video tells us what are some things that we can do to solve this problem

spanning from things that we kind of know to things that we kind of don't know in terms of both physics and engineering. And so this video is kind of an emotional encapsulation of a highly technical story. So let's watch. This will be a great way to kind of tee off this discussion.

As incredible as it may seem, there will be a time, and it may be closer than you think, when we live on other worlds. The moon, Mars, and in the space between. And when that day comes, just as always, our children will look with curiosity across these new horizons with a desire to go further and to explore what lies beyond.
