And we are so close.

I mean, uh, you know, in the, in, and what is that like relative to the 60 some odd years of, of human space exploration we're within,

five to ten years at the absolute most.

I mean, think about it.

Up until now, up until rather recently, every time we've put humans in space, we've pretty much thrown away some portion of the rocket.

So, you know, with the space shuttle, we threw away the fuel tank, and then it was an incredibly expensive multi-month overhaul of the vehicle.

In the Saturn V that took astronauts to the moon, we threw the whole thing away.

Nothing was reusable.

And now with Falcon 9, you've got rockets that land on ships, and we reuse them within a couple weeks.

The Dragon capsule that I flew into space, I flew on the same one twice.

And prior to me flying on it, NASA's Crew-1 flew on it.

And all of that has reduced the cost to put mass and humans into orbit

materially, but now where does it get to the point where every day anyone can go and do it and it's as affordable as maybe a really expensive vacation?

That's when you don't throw any of the rocket away and everything is reusable.

Just like you're taking your family to Disneyland, you don't throw any portion of the airplane away.

So Starship, that's that monster vehicle.

It's the size of a skyscraper and it's twice as powerful as the Saturn V rocket that took us to the moon.

That's what you saw SpaceX catch with the tower.

And that's so the top half is reusable and the bottom half is reusable.

And you can fit 100 people on it.
