Starship is just a big soda can.
And we're hiring welders.
And if you can weld in any industrial project, you can weld here.
But there's a lot of pride in the simplicity.
Well, frankly, Starship is a very complicated rocket.
So that's what I'm getting at.
Are things simpler or are they complex?
We spent a lot of time on bottlenecks.
Can you say what the current Starship bottlenecks are, even at the high level?
I mean, trying to make it not explode, generally.
Isn't that hard?
MARK BLYTHER- Can you maybe talk about the, so, Starlink was slowly in the works for many years.
Yeah.
And so then there was a team you had built in Redmond.
And then at one point you decided this team is just not cutting us.
But again, how did you, like, it went for a few years slowly.
And so why did this, why didn't you act earlier?
And why did you act when you did?
Like, why was that the right moment at which to act?
By this current number, yeah.
