And what has happened more than anything?
The capital gates for space have opened.
Why do you have all these really cool companies?
with all these fucking crazy ideas is because venture cap companies are willing to back them.
This is why you didn't have them in the nineties.
There's actually not a technological difference between what we're doing now and the nineties, to be very clear.
Like sure we have a little more compute from that standpoint.
But like everything we're doing could have been built with nineteen nineties technology.
We just didn't have the capital influx in the nineties to do it.
But I'm what I'm saying there is like the Falcon nine, let's be very clear about this guy's Falcon Nine is not some technologically advanced rocket.
It is a economically advanced rocket.
That's all I'm getting at the difference.
The technology here has existed for a long time.
You maybe can't make that distinction with Starship or with New Glenn, to be fair.
Like that size, that modeling, that becomes a lot more difficult.
And I think that the Raptor engines or even the BE four, I think they're on block three, is probably a little bit more technological advanced than we were in the nineties.
The first generation Merlin is not.
It's a pretty standard engine that was used for a long time.
In fact, I would argue that the RD one eighty is probably still a better performing engine than Merlin.
I'm probably wrong on that, but you get my point.
