That's what's happening now at industrial scale.
Well, you know, the big one to go straight to is energy generation in the space environment that is brought back to Earth.
So this is a financial problem, not a technology problem.
And SpaceX comes back into the story here because of their new vehicle, Starship.
So Starship, they've done 12 test flights.
This thing's now ready for sort of commercial capability.
It's 10 times bigger than the Falcon 9 in terms of its capacity.
Falcon 9 has been the workhorse for the last decade.
This revolutionized the space industry already.
You're now talking about a vehicle that's 10 times bigger.
The pricing's not yet been set, but the market tends to believe it's going to be about a tenth of the cost of the current market.
So 10 times bigger, 10 times less.
And SpaceX are saying there's going to be something like 200 of these per year.
So what that does is it completely removes the cost barrier of lifting large amounts of equipment into the space environment.
So previously, none of the business cases closed because of just the pure cost of lifting massive amounts of infrastructure into the space environment.
So that no longer holds.
So it's a little more expensive taking stuff into space than it is putting it on a plane or a train or a truck and moving it from A to B. So this is the period that we're now in.
So there are...
