Of course.

Like I said, we just went the other way, right?

We started with commercial, and then we'll shift it over to use cases in the government.

We didn't go from government to commercial.

I don't think that approach leads to a commercially sound company.

It may lead to a Boeing or a Raytheon, which, by the way, I shouldn't say that's a bad thing.

You can make a lot of money off that.

It's just not in my interest lane.

Planetary defense is a big deal, for sure.

And planetary defense is all about early detection and how we get there.

And so it needs to have multiple things.

It needs to have ground-based assets that can help detect these like Ruben.

You know, we can find thousands of asteroids and determine if any of them are gonna detect us.

And then we need to be able to access them quickly.

And I think this is where we come in.

A lot of people, a lot of companies that go build deep spacecraft like Maxar, which will contract through JPL to build big buses, will take five to 10 years to build a spacecraft.

Because they start off very differently.

It's a very different thought process.

They also require a dedicated launch.

We require neither of those.
