And so I think I knew very early on in my journey in university, right, when I was going and getting my degree that that I wanted to work in advanced power and propulsion. And so at that point, everything I did kind of worked towards how do I get the skills, how do I get the math and physics training that helps me kind of work in this domain?

Because I was thinking about the idea of space warps very early on.

Well, there were a few speed bumps along the way. We took a few detours like any human, right? You're like, I don't know if I want to do this yet, right?

Absolutely. You know, there's another interesting story, right? So my background is I've got a PhD in physics. a master's in mechanical engineering, so I'm both a scientist and an engineer, so I have, you know, deep appreciation for both disciplines.

But within the discipline of science, right, you know, we just talked about the right flyer and then going to the surface of the moon, and that's more of a kind of an engineering story. On the topic of science, you know, think about E equals MC squared. You Probably heard that or saw it on a coffee cup.

Whatever.

So E equals MC squared, right, is an equation that relates energy to mass. If you were to take some modest piece of mass, say you've got some tidbits here of The mass that's in this pen right here. If you take the mass that's in this pen and you convert it to energy, that equation helps you understand exactly how much energy you can potentially release.

Somebody will look it up on the Internet and correct me if I'm wrong. Comes up with the equation in 1911. They split the first atom in 1928, 1932 time frame. I can't remember the exact time frame. 1942, we have the first nuclear reactor exploded. Underneath the squash court at University of Chicago, they did things very differently in the 1940s, Joe. Under a squash court? Yeah, right.
