Um in some ways, if you look at the bottom without thinking about Starlink or thinking of the drones, it looks like 1914, which is very unfortunate.
It's a very brutal war.
Um, but then when you look at the new technologies that are that are sort of in the air and in space, um, it's very applicable to other theaters and very applicable to to what could p potentially happen in the Pacific or or what could happen elsewhere.
Our view is investing in sort of ahead of what is the next theater?
What is the thing that we need to be investing in in the next 10 years?
Is that the next war is actually going to be fought in space.
And that means that we need to be thinking about attritable systems in space.
We need to be thinking about offensive capabilities.
But I think a lot of the companies that we're working with on the space side are very much thinking that the infrastructure.
in space to fight the theaters on the ground is actually actually where we need to be spending the most time.
Well, you know, and I I I actually love that question because the when I say people went to the school of Elon Musk, I think that Elon's most important uh contribution to this country is training two generations of engineers, uh, really 20 over 20 years on how to work with their hands again.
We had lost that capability in the US.
It again, it it it the pendulum had moved so far to software that we didn't have someone who was thinking from first principles of how do you actually build
As quickly as you possibly can and build in new ways and capabilities that didn't exist before.
You don't learn it at university, and you certainly don't learn it at one of the existing primes, where they're given a list of requirements by the Department of War and they're told, build it exactly as we say.
Whereas Elon's way of thinking about things, and and you know, he there's been many books now written about this, but we see it every day in the companies we support, uh, is he always thinks about how do you engineer something for production?
How do you
Build for manufacturing.
You don't separate out those two capabilities.
You're an engineer.
