Yeah. You kind of see that hinted in the video too, right? Where you got the slow boat and then you got the fusions, the next one that comes by and the guy's like, you know, waving as he goes by.

Yeah, yeah. They'll welcome you when you arrive, right? The grandchildren of those people will welcome you. So the fusion propulsion is kind of the next step in the story. And so when we make that step, we're a little bit into the unknown. Right. We understand the physics, right? The sun at the center of our solar system works on fusion.

It fuses atoms together instead of splitting them apart to generate electricity. And so fusion propulsion is kind of another step in capability, right, that allows us to do Maybe do an interstellar mission that's measured in 100, maybe 200 years. Still kind of long, but that's a lot more respectable than 2,000 years.

But contrary to what the movie Iron Man might say, we don't have fusion reactors that are gigawatts the size of this coffee cup, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We got a little work to do before we get there.

Right, right.

Right, right.

Right, right.

That's actually one of the most popular questions I get when I go talk to students, right? Whenever you talk about that last swim lane in the video, the idea of a space warp, you know, you can expand and contract space, and that allows us to potentially go somewhere in months, whereas we were just previously talking about millennia and centuries, right?

Just to remind folks, we just talked about everything that we know of physics today, quantum mechanics, general relativity. We've got to add some more stuff to the Venn diagram to develop an understanding. And so my crystal ball is no better than yours, Joe. I couldn't say specifically if, when something like that might happen.
