And, you know, the big fear that I have is that government's going to say, oh, well, you know, we've written the requirements so that we need this thing on this bus.

And it's like, no, like we just need the bus that can do 90% of the job and just get it up as fast as possible and make them as fast as possible.

We need to produce as quickly as we can.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So they can take any payload to space.

You know, they have three, like, in some ways it's like, it looks a lot more like consumer technology.

It's like, we have three models.

We have one for LEO, we have one for GEO, we have one for, you know, the different orbit that you're going to.

But for 90% of payloads, that bus is going to be perfect.

And because they're only designing something three times versus designing a brand new thing every time they need to send something up,

You take out all the design work, you crunch all the R&D, and then you build a system that allows you – it's designed for manufacturing.

You manufacture as quickly as possible.

And that methodology of manufacturing, again, this is – I think people underestimate the impact that Elon Musk has had on the country.

He's had an incredible impact on a bunch of companies.

But the thing that he taught people, again, is the best part is no part.

It's you have to make the product as simple as possible so that you can manufacture it as quickly as possible.

And if you make it simple and if you make it modular, something that can just be churned out where it doesn't have to be every single time something happens, you have to design something new and you have to change your manufacturing process.

You'll have fewer problems with the quality control.

You'll have fewer problems with, you know, is something gonna blow up?
