And then using that same philosophy that iron is magnetic and the platinum group metals are not, we essentially use magnets to project the iron.

And we keep the platinum group metals inside the spacecraft.

It's a pretty simple approach to do it.

Now, keep in mind, I'm 10 million miles away and I'm a startup.

If I start coming out here with, we got robot arms and we got conveyor belts and like, it's just not going to happen.

I mean, if you look at any spacecraft, they're hard enough to fly when shit isn't moving.

And then when you start to add mechatronics to it, like they're next to impossible, right?

I mean, look at the arm that we developed that not we actually Canada did, MDA on the space shuttle.

That was awesome.

a huge undertaking to get two actuators to work correctly.

It's really hard to do that in space.

So we just can't do it.

I don't want to have the team.

Keeping it simple is one of the biggest philosophies we have at the company.

And so we'll store that.

And then we just essentially launch the spacecraft back at Earth.

There's nothing special here.

We crash into the atmosphere, use a heat shield to burn off kinetic energy, and recover the material.

The really cool thing about a spacecraft that's just mining and doesn't do any scientific exploration is I don't have to have all these weird constraints.

It doesn't have to land nicely, right?
