Yeah, so I guess about a month or so after I came back from Inspiration4, we created Polaris program and we were back at it.

It's awesome.

I mean, like I said, once you get past the hanging upside down from your bed feeling for a little bit, it's amazing, man.

Everything happens quickly, but time melts away.

You're just always busy doing things.

Your schedule is planned out to the second, and you want to make every bit of that time count.

You know how lucky you are to be there, and if there is an experiment that could help with that,

cancer treatment or the human body's ability to endure microgravity for long periods of time.

You want to play your part in learning that, and you do.

And it's kind of amazing how much time you have to get stuff done because it's not like you have to go far for anything.

People were telling me, oh, yeah, when you brush your teeth, it's going to take five times longer than it is here on Earth.

It was like...

I literally floated a foot, grabbed the toothpaste, and then I floated a foot and I picked up an experiment.

Like things just, you're just sailing through things super fast, you know?

I don't know if we think it, I think it's more we hope, right?

And it doesn't, we hope that there is something that we will find in space, in the unique environment of microgravity, or say on the lunar surface with lunar regolith, that unlocks an economy that creates a justification for us to be there.

Because right now we are there mostly for national prestige.

We have an International Space Station.

We have American astronauts there.

I think if you ask anyone at NASA, like, what is the single greatest accomplishment we've gotten from the International Space Station, they won't say cancer-treating pharmaceutical drugs, even though we've done lots of experiments.
