I mean, space is just absolutely critical to everything we're doing and knowing what's going on in the world and projecting power and just, it's just, I mean, certain things you can't talk about with space warfare, but you can imagine, it's just critical. We now dominate that globally. And there's no way, we'd be way behind. We'd have nothing.

I mean, you've seen, there's videos where they try to do the thing where they landed. They haven't figured it out yet, but they're trying, I mean, they're trying to do the chopstick. I haven't tried the chopstick that I saw, but they definitely try to land. Cause the smaller ones are self landing without the chopstick, the chopsticks for the really heavy, big one.

So they're still, they're still back. They haven't got Falcon figured out yet, but they're trying. Then, then the biggest starship, they're not even close, but, but listen, I mean, the Chinese are really good at copying stuff. It's actually extraordinary. He's that far ahead of them. And there's some really smart people there. So it's just the fact that we're this far ahead.

That's just an amazing fact.

Every time you do something, they're so fast at copying. It's actually amazing how good they are.

They got some team of crack. I think it's the culture. I think it's the culture of their education system to take something and to learn it and regurgitate it tends to be how they teach there. So I think there's something about their smartest people being forced to do that.

And it's, and then, and then they take things and it's really funny because they copy and they iterate on it and they, and they do steal. I mean, I'm not going to say which company, but one of our companies was like training open AI and anthropic on a certain very specific area where they'd measure them every week, give them, get feedback and get it ahead.
