And so I, I trust them.

This has been something that folks have been thinking about for, for, you know, a generation for 50 years now.

There are other designs.

In fact, there are plans for a Chinese gravitational wave mission that does use forearms.

That's right.

And so if you have three and you lose one, you still have two.

So you would still have a gravitational wave mission.

I think this is just one of those instances where you have a cost benefit analysis and, you know, it would be more expensive with four or five.

So so three is kind of the ideal configuration.

No.

It's not just that, right?

There's more to it than that.

That's that is correct.

And so there's very sophisticated interferometry you have to have.

And you do have to have some things as as much as like, for example, if there were a solar windstorm, you get these you get charges that are on the the test mask.

And that can cause it to drift electrostatically a little bit.

Well, that's not a gravitational wave.

You need to have some way to discharge that.

And so there's special LED discharging mechanisms that have been invented by by folks in the U.S.

to be able to.
