I'm just talking, like, look, even under a microscope, you see something moving, I think people will be like, okay, that's real.

But short of that, and again, we have not seen that, I think the only way you're going to have that consequential discovery is astronauts are going to go there, or they're going to bring those samples back, or maybe a robotic mission will bring them back, and then we're going to put them under a lab here, and somebody's going to come out and say conclusively, hey...

This is 100%, right?

So this is why you need a human in the loop on some of these things.

Not to mention, it's just inherent in who we are.

It's our destiny.

We're curious.

We want to go out and learn and discover.

That's how we evolve.

I think it just answers the question that we're not alone.

How many of your friends you've ever, you know, you look up at the stars and have the conversation like, do you think there's life out there?

And I bet most people would say that like, oh, I mean, we got two trillion galaxies and every galaxy has who knows how many stars in it.

So sure, the odds suggest that there should be something out there, right?

Well, does that change from like, surely it must be somewhere, to if you find samples that's supported on Mars and signatures on Europa Clipper, to what if it's everywhere, right?

I mean, that's kind of the light switch moment that could happen when you start finding evidence of life on some of our closest neighbors within our solar system, which is one star across the broader Milky Way galaxy, which is part of 2 trillion others.

No.

I mean, I think this great adventure that we are on, again, it is our destiny to venture out and explore and discover.

And moon is a next stop.

Mars, we're going to have an outpost.

And we will continue to evolve our capabilities until we have the ability to explore other star systems beyond our solar system.
