I pretty much spend every waking moment making sure we're not fucking up the next mission and the mission after that.

And that's about it, Sean.

But there's a really easy abstraction here, which is we can fit about 20 of our spacecraft in that 200 kilogram size point on a Falcon 9 and go to the moon and do one of these TLI launches.

And so I do see us in the near future, probably in the early 2030s, trying to launch 20 at a time.

And if we do that, we can launch probably once a quarter,

with the volume we see to manufacture on the satellite buses.

So we'll be somewhere in the range of about a hundred per year that we would launch.

That would probably be the max we do for the platinum group metals.

Because after that, when you're at that throughput, then you start to affect the elasticity of the metal, right?

And that's when we start talking about the supply and demand curves getting out of whack.

So I'm kind of upper limited to about a hundred platinum group metal spacecraft per year.

Okay.

Just about $6 billion.

Still, I think, pretty good return on investment, right?

No, no, two years or less round trip.

Round trip.

Two years or less round trip.

All the asteroids we keep on the board, nine months or less to get to, three months to mine them, and a year to come back.

It's always a little bit longer to come back because we're heavier and we leave slowly.

So yeah, two years round trip is what we look at.
