And absolutely isolated from any known life.
I am it.
If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the other side of the moon.
And one plus God knows what on this side.
Absolutely.
Lowe's description of the sky and the sensation of being out there, you know, three and a half, four miles above the earth seems so very close to what Mike Collins is describing, you know, hundreds of thousands of miles above the earth.
It seems like specifically a very American obsession to try to push their way to the outer edge of something.
That whole frontier mentality that has kind of been with us from the beginning.
The way Ben tells the story, it all began where so many great ideas originate, reading in the bathroom.
It was a book about gambling, and there was a three-page chapter on blackjack explaining how to count cards, and Ben thought, I could do this.
He waited tables back then, minimum wage work, and he had just had his first kid.
He and his wife were broke, and so one day he came up with a plan to take their last $800 to a dinky casino outside of Seattle.
And he won.
Ben formed a small crew of card counters to hit the casinos together.
And they did okay for a while.
But after three years, that team fell apart.
Ben said they just had different values.
And so Ben and another player, his good friend Colin, decided that if they were going to create a great team, then they had to find new members they could trust completely.
And that's when it hit them.
The perfect source of blackjack players.
