It will carry the Skyfall scientific payload, which is three helicopters, if you will, that are going to fly around the red planet and explore it.
That's what NASA is supposed to do.
Nuclear power and propulsion.
Unbelievable.
SpaceX and Blue Origin, you know, NASA figured out the chemical propulsion game a long time ago.
We handed it off to industry.
SpaceX and Blue Origin, through competitive dynamics, have improved the capabilities.
You have reusability now.
It costs less.
Great.
That helps us in our missions.
to do more science and discovery, to build a moon base.
But it means we need to shift focus and resources to doing what they can't do.
You know, there's no business case for nuclear reactors and nuclear power and propulsion in space.
That is something that NASA should be doing.
And when we figure that out someday, if there's a business case, we can hand it off to industry and then we'll work on our fusion drives because someday we're going to
We're going to want to actually be able to have a mission to another star system.
So NASA never goes at this alone.
We didn't go alone in the 60s.
We work with our commercial partners and international partners to do the near impossible.
