Look at that.

So I think my vision, my long-term vision is nuclear thermal propulsion, I think is a key thing in my lifetime.

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, so our current spacecraft platform can move from mid-Earth orbit to low-Earth orbit in less than three hours.

It can move from mid-Earth orbit to geo in less than a day.

It can go from low-Earth orbit to geostationary orbit in a day.

So those types of time— That's not fast enough for you?

That is fast enough for me.

Good.

It's just not possible with frequency now, unless you're using a rocket to do it.

It's not a routine thing.

Our customers don't care about how cool the tech is.

Right.

They just want speed.

They just want speed.

They want it now.

If there's something going on in the world they need to be looking after, they want to do it now.

If they've got a spacecraft in trouble, they want to see it now.

They don't want to agonize over, well, if I move it, maybe I'll never get to move this spacecraft again because it doesn't have enough.

My long-lost brother in space.
