You need some orbital economy in order to build that future.
And that show does a pretty good example of it.
We need a thousand more companies like SpaceX across the whole aerospace, defense apparatus, every major technology endeavor across any important domain should have its SpaceX-like equivalent, at least a couple of them in there.
It's what we need to ensure America's leadership and free world.
So we tested out the first new spacesuit that was made in 40 years.
And SpaceX and their team of really brilliant engineers built it in about two and a half years.
And it's pretty important because people have been working a really long time to build replacement NASA suits, and it hasn't happened yet.
Now, I would say, I mean, look, it was a lot closer to a min-viable product than it was something you'd walk on the moon or Mars with.
But I can tell you, I recently just got an update on it, and they've already gone two generations beyond it, which will be cool to see them test at some point in the future.
Just like I mentioned before, you can't go to space without feeling gratitude for everybody who helped you get there.
And when I was in that suit outside the Dragon vehicle, I was thinking about all the people that...
worked really hard to make it and test it to keep me safe.
I mean, there is nothing between me and death other than a visor.
And, you know, and I had no doubt that what they built was going to perform well and that someday some evolution of it would be used on the moon or Mars.
And that's what's going to happen.
But...
I guess maybe just say it's a lot different than looking out the window.
I'll bet.
I was like, it's going to be a visual thing.
And it's an everything thing.
