Yeah, you know, the ownership thing, it's fascinating. This is a lot like I think you can go back and study the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries where there's just infinite room and infinite space for the new world and all these places you can get. And you can fight over some big land bodies, of course, that people did.

But there's just so much out there that it's much more like once you can start using it in a way that is actually helpful and you're using it for something useful, it kind of becomes yours. And there's so much out there that we're not gonna run into scarcity for a long time.

So the way we think of it on earth is probably, like today, is probably the wrong model because we have this bias where there's a certain amount of land and a certain amount of resources and it's scarce and do I own it or do you own it? And there's just so much stuff up there and so much room up there that it's not, that's not really the problem for now.

Like, like we could, we could, we could, every country could have their own moon base, uh, and like, be like doing whatever we want to be doing on the moon. And then we're not going to like run out of room on the moon for now. Right. And then same thing with like, there's just.

and there's millions of asteroids right so so so i'm not i'm not too concerned about that i think the scarier thing is you probably don't want wars in space right at all because a it will screw up all the global satellite stuff we do which is i don't know about you but starlink's pretty useful for me it's pretty bad and b is just like there's lots of things where if you can get good at like doing things in space and then throwing things at the planet that's really scary you go you screw a lot of things up so i hope i never i hope that's not something we

We don't want that. There's a funny technology I saw the other day that was like this robot to like clean up space junk that people are working on. Of course, it was a Japanese, which I love. This is like what you expect them to do, of course. It's the cleanest country. It's a dog. It's a miniature dog as well. It's shaped like a miniature dog. No, that's great.

But I mean, in theory, there's things like that hopefully we could do. But yeah, you don't want a war up there.
