I would say that I still do that, but I call those forcing functions instead of destinations. Sure. Because you're just forcing people to crank on some code or cookbook or whatever because you have a date. And sometimes there's a reason. I mean, it's the 20th anniversary. You want to get the cookbook out. We have a reason. We didn't make this up out of thin air. And so, yeah, that does push you.

But just because we have the cookbook doesn't mean it's a destination. It means it was a forcing function to get it out there. Now we're on the journey.

Seriously, to talk about a journey, that is incredible.

One of the hardest times in SpaceX was... We were in the mid-Pacific in Kwajalein, and my brother had sold PayPal. He'd done well financially, but in the rocket world, that money goes away really quickly. And we were in this military base in Kwajalein, and I think it was the second rocket that blew up. I'm not sure, but we didn't have infinite resources. I certainly didn't have the resources.

I mean, I'm there to support, brotherly support. But the... So every rocket launch was do or die. And the first one had blown up. And so the second one, I think it was the second one, blew up. And it was so depressing. It was just like, oh, there's nowhere to go. You're in the... There's no distraction. You're just... You're on this military base. You don't re-socialize.

So it's just we're all together. And I had gotten to know, you know, for me, I'm not part of the team. I'm just there for emotional support or whatever because it's cool. And so I got to know a couple of people locally and got to know this one guy who had a mobile home. Best view in the world, but it's just a mobile home with a patch of grass next to it.

And I was just desperate to find food that wasn't from the cafeteria because this is the worst food you can imagine. And so I met him and he showed me this little tiny little grocery store which had a few things like canned tomatoes. And this is, again, you're in the middle of nowhere, so it's nothing fresh.
