But what is Redwire?

Let's talk about kind of what is Redwire do and kind of let's make this fun.

You know, the moment you needed to exist, like why does the world need Redwire?

That's that's how I want you to explain the company.

Yeah.

And to put numbers on it, and I always cringe when I hear numbers like this, but it's the Morgan Stanley report, $1 trillion global space industry by 2040.

You know what?

I'm enough of a cynic.

I'll take the under there, but I think it is getting much bigger.

And yeah.

So what I've pitched this internally.

The two things I fall back on with Redwire is, and I know this, I'm curious if you like this or you're going to cringe with this, but sort of the Transdime for space.

Transdime, of course, is an aerospace company that makes all of the essential parts that make all of this possible.

And it feels like that Redwire, that that was the opportunity that you were kind of seeing that like, you know, a lot of things have to go into these massive missions.

It's great to be the prime, too.

And we can get into that.

There's opportunities there.

But kind of just the nuts and bolts that makes it all possible if we are going to get to that $1 trillion number or whatever it is.

Is that fair or am I missing it?

Let's take a deep dive into one of those acquisitions, a big one from this year, Edge Autonomy, which I think I'm curious here for you, but it really expanded what you're capable of doing.
