that's expected to go down to even $200 to $400 per kilogram.
So it's an insane amount that we've come down.
And the math is very simple.
If launch costs fall, you can send more stuff into space.
And we've actually seen that in a chart that I looked at online.
So you've got falling launch costs.
We've also got improving just technology in general.
So what I mean by that is the bandwidth per satellite is increasing.
That means you need typically fewer satellites to put into orbit as well.
So naturally, that's given a lot more coverage for underserved regions in the world.
So think about internet in places like Africa or even in the ocean as well for maritime vessels.
I mean, the other two factors, private capital, as we know, continues to fund the industry.
That's been another driver behind the space theme as well.
Also, just demand.
So I kind of mentioned, we've got about 2.9 billion people on Earth that don't have access to internet.
Three quarters of the world is water.
And we know on water, there's a lot of shipment through vessels and maritime that occurs.
And again, they actually need internet services.
So...
Yeah, I think those are four key drivers and that's really putting space at the limelight today as a potential investment thing that investors can look into.
