Our actual modern way of life was created because of this process of extracting aluminum.
We knew about aluminum before.
We knew what it was.
The difference was is the cost of aluminum was astronomical.
Try those same analogies to platinum right now.
Platinum costs are very high.
They're astronomical because it's a supply and demand created ecosystem.
But you've probably heard of hydrogen.
The way you make green hydrogen so it isn't spewing out carbon and isn't just being a less effective energy transfer is with a platinum catalyst.
There's all these theoretical use cases.
And I shouldn't even say theoretical.
There's all these use cases for platinum that monetarily don't make any sense right now, that if you could flip the switch on, do.
And so I'm happy with two outcomes.
One is...
We have an aluminum revolution, right?
We changed the way that we operate on this planet because we now have an abundance of a resource coming from outside of the earth that allows our growth rate to continue.
It allows us to expand out in the universe and it allows us to really, I think, level up as a civilization.
The other use case is I bring back $60 million at a time into a massive market and we make a shitload of money.
Either one of those I'm good with.
We'll see which ones happens.
