Like you gotta give those guys a ton of credit up front for just even taking the risk.

I think they got one thing wrong.

And I think the thing they got wrong was something they didn't control.

It was just timing.

So much of companies is just about timing.

Here is the reality of planetary resources.

In 2010, if you wanted to take a rocket into interplanetary space, you really had two choices in America.

They were called the Delta IV or the Atlas V.

They both cost $450 million, mainly because they were price colluding with each other.

But they cost a shitload of money.

And so you're going to build a spacecraft that is going to be price parody with your rocket launch cost, right?

So now you got to build a $450 million spacecraft.

It's going to, you know, take the tonnage.

So let's say let's make up a number of three tons to to a direct insertion orbit.

You now gotta build a three-ton spacecraft.

The reality is you gotta raise one to two billion dollars in capital.

to make that happen.

And a lot of that is in CapEx probably actually got to raise a little more.

And so Planetary Resources had to raise, let's just make it up, two billion dollars in capital to go do their first demo mission.

Our first demo mission cost cost just under five million, including the launch.
