Nuclear power and propulsion is a great example.
Lots of great nuclear companies right now.
I've
I think there's a lot of demand, terrestrial demand for energy.
So maybe that's probably the near-term demand signal.
So NASA can do what probably others wouldn't want to take on the liability of, of launching a nuclear reactor with power and propulsion so we can get to Mars someday and actually bring our astronauts back home.
That's a great example of where NASA should be recalibrating again to the near impossible.
Yeah, I mean, to me, I think it's obvious.
I don't know why, you know, these decisions weren't made sooner, but you cannot launch a rocket as important, as complex as SLS every three and a half years and think it's going to lead to a good outcome.
You know, we had hydrogen leaks on Artemis 1 three and a half years later.
What did we have?
We had hydrogen leaks.
We had helium flow issues on Artemis 1.
We have three and a half years later.
Why is Artemis 2 back in the Vehicle Assembly Building instead of around the moon right now?
Helium flow issues.
