From there, there are no limits to where we could go. Perhaps one day, humanity will look up at an alien night sky and strain to find the pale yellow dot that is our sun, our home, and know for the first time as we look back on ourselves that we are not alone in the universe. This journey starts today.

Thanks, Jamie. Yeah, Eric Ornquist was the Swedish digital artist that we used to develop that video. That guy nailed it. Oh, my gosh, didn't he? That's pretty cool. Yeah, we had like a three-swim lane chart, if you will, that's a very technical version of this. We have a copy of it. We don't need to bring it up, Jamie. I can just do it verbally here.

But it kind of encapsulates that thought process of this time distance problem. You know, when we think about space exploration with humans, we think about Mars. We've sent human beings to the moon. We're probably going to go back to the moon sooner rather than later. And then eventually we'll want to send human beings to Mars.

But what if we wanted to send human beings to Saturn and we want to get them there in 200 days? That's a timeframe that's kind of compatible with what we've thought about for humans to Mars, 180 to 220 days.

If you frame the question that way, the amount of energy that's necessary to get humans to Saturn in 200 days is an order of magnitude more energy than it takes to get a payload from the surface of the Earth to low Earth orbit. So all that to say, that particular problem, chemical propulsion can't solve that problem.

And so this is starting to kind of frame the discussion, this narrative that we've pulled together when we talk to students all around the globe, the difference between two space And the difference of through space. When you talk about through space, the distances are just so big, right?

You have to rethink the problem, especially when you constrain it with how long does it take to get there, right? And so this particular video encapsulates things that we might do. to solve problems like that, and maybe even into another star system, talking about things that we know. Like the very first part of the video, the vignette was, like you said, nuclear electric propulsion.
