I hope a little bit that we can bring that back.

I hope by lowering the cost of entry to go explore the universe, we can bring back the inspiration piece as well.

Again, if I can do this for double-digit millions, you now have private institutions that can go do this, universities that can go do this, and we can go inspire a whole new generation of people to go explore.

Look, I know absolutely shit about dark matter.

Damn it!

Yeah, sorry.

It's all good.

I don't know, but what I will say is that the reason we have so many questions about dark matter is because we just haven't been able to put the instrumentation in space to go explore it.

I mean, dark matter was discovered by mistake, right?

And the way it was discovered was calculating gravity and realizing, like, hold on.

These planets in these solar systems, we can see, really, I should say, these stars around these galaxies far away are going too fast.

And if we do our normal calculation, they should fly off.

Which means our mass calculation is wrong.

Why is our mass calculation wrong?

One theory for that is dark matter.

But really what we're saying is our math doesn't work on the model we're using.

It's broken.

And I think the most widely accepted solution to that math is that there's extra mass that we can't see.

And so we call it dark matter because we can't see it.

I hope we put more science in space to go figure this out.
