And also their willingness to even take it on.

So at the time that Inspiration4 was created, which was October of 2020, they put two astronauts up, Bob and Doug, on demo two.

It was a demo flight.

It wasn't even the return of operational capability to the United States after the shuttle was retired.

That was NASA Crew-1.

That came after.

So like, I mean, to have the confidence, which by the way in itself is another travesty that we went 10 years in this country with having zero capability to put astronauts into space.

10 years when the shuttle was retired in 2011, we had to send all our astronauts via Russia.

So you think of all the things of SpaceX and Elon and, you know, the good and the bad, they returned operational capability to the United States for sending astronauts into the high ground of space.

It's like absolutely a travesty that we ever let ourselves be in that position in the first place.

But yeah, I mean, I just think of like the confidence they must have had

in October of 2020 to say, yeah, we're ready to do this, and we're ready to do it with civilians.

And they did, and they signed up for it.

And then NASA Crew-1 launched.

Crew-1 came home.

NASA Crew-2 launched.

And before even NASA Crew-2 came home, Inspiration4 launched.

So it was about kind of nine months from when we said we were going to do it to when we went to space.

The training was awesome.

I've said it, my two missions to space, the time I spent on the ground with the teams at SpaceX and also NASA too, I mean, they played a part in both missions, just as good as going to space.
