But the tolerances that you have with space exploration are so small.
So you have maybe something, the shuttle, maybe the size of a 727.
But...
It has to be mated to something like a solid rocket booster that has high explosives to within hundreds, if not thousands, of an inch tolerance.
And so it's really something that requires a team effort.
I just wanted to give one more update.
It sounds like Christina Cook was the first, Victor Glover was the second, and the third, I think we may know the name of.
I'll keep you updated on that.
It was Jeremy Hansen.
Okay, continue.
I apologize for interrupting you.
I just wanted to keep the audience updated.
Go ahead.
I just wanted to say that when you talk about teamwork, the people who are doing the things with the mating, the vehicles, making sure the tile is correct, many of those are not...
four-year degree engineers.
So I think we have to understand that it's skill technicians in everyone.
And this is really a very different kind of enterprise than many of the ones that we're used to in terms of the tolerances and what you have to do.
And I wanted to build on the idea about the excitement that this brings.
I think it brings excitement to adults, too.
Very frequently, we think of space exploration as for the children.
