It's a very complicated bill.

But we have the mission has been adopted officially.

And what that means is that both ESA and NASA have decided this is a great, good idea.

We're going to put our resources toward it.

And it's supposed to launch in 2035, which sounds like a long way away, but it's not to build a whole spacecraft.

That's right.

It's your own space agency.

I'll say it again because I don't care.

Those black holes are the kind of black holes that are made from regular stellar evolution.

Like a star is born and then it dies and it has... Those are things are called stellar mass black holes.

And they're about 10 to maybe 100 times the mass of our sun.

And those are cool.

I, you know, whatever, but they're not my favorite.

The fit, my favorite are the kind that are, you know, millions of times more.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, massive, not super massive, but anyway.

Okay.

So wait, now back it up.

a massive black hole at the center that's maybe millions to billions of times the mass of our sun.

And we know galaxies grow by merging together.
