And we're going to do that on Artemis 2.

We're going to do it on Artemis 3 and 4 and 5 and maybe 6.

Who knows?

We're going to get our astronauts back to the surface.

We're going to learn.

And we are going to gradually roll in some of what you're seeing today from some of our commercial providers when vehicles are coming back and landing on ships and landing on land because that's what makes it more affordable.

And that's how we take frequent, repeatable missions to and from the lunar environment and build out the moon base and actually go there to stay.

So what does the moon base do?

What is it for?

So we have been operating on the International Space Station now a continuous human presence for more than a quarter of a century.

What an accomplishment.

I mean, you know, look, we are hoping our astronauts, who many of them are very trained scientists and engineers, will crack the code on the orbital economy at the International Space Station.

Who knows?

Cancer-fighting drugs, biotech technology.

Maybe we all 3D print a spare liver or kidney and put it in the fridge someday.

Who knows?

But what I would- We'll come back.

But I want to point out that that is a very different environment in low Earth orbit than what we may stand to learn on the moon, right?

So you have a lot of protection.

Approximately 420 kilometers is the orbital altitude of the International Space Station.
