We did it for free as like an outreach to kids to get stoked about space.
And we built this and launched it like six months ago.
We have a million pictures people have submitted.
We're actively taking them every day.
But part of that is when you put that up, you have to prompt, you have to have a deorbit plan.
So in five, about five years, it will come back down and burn up.
That's 100%.
When do you present on like...
Suiciding yourself.
Crash landing this thing back.
Yeah, well, it burns up, right?
So the friction is so high.
Oh, that would be enough.
Yeah.
So most stuff, there's very few.
It's disposable.
Yeah, essentially.
So that's why.
As long as you decommission means you come to a low enough altitude, there's enough air molecules there that you start getting more and more drag.
It starts heating up and nothing makes it to the ground.
