It kills the dream of what we're doing.
I'm also just not interested in low Earth orbit.
Like I said, the space shuttle kind of like ruined my childhood.
I don't want to continuously ruin my childhood because there's a great economic use case in low Earth orbit potentially.
It's not important.
What's important is we have a mission to go mine the cosmos.
And if we can help the government along that way, I'm all for it.
And so those are the conversations we started to have, especially around the moon, around, you know, this keyword of like space domain awareness around lunar and as we go out further.
And also...
We have probably one of the most advanced detection algorithms for how we see things in space.
Keep in mind, we've got to find these asteroids on our spacecraft.
We know in the general realm of where they are, but usually we're off by plus or minus 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers.
So we have to be able to find it in these boxes.
Those detection algorithms work really well for other things you can imagine.
And so those are the type of areas we started to branch off into with the government.
I'm going to save the world, Sean.
That's exactly what we're going to do.
This is a detailed question, but in essence, yes, 100%.
I mean, one of the things we're talking with the government about is exactly this, planetary defense.
You are talking to the government.
