Yeah, it's great great to talk to you Ed.
But um look, uh I think it's become pretty obvious, and we've talked about it for quite some time, that the really large space companies um of the future uh are going to be a little bit blurry about what a space company even is.
And you know, Rocket Lab today, we're the second most frequently launched uh rocket and and we have a large spacecraft business and components business.
But really the third leg of the stool was always an application.
By combining Rocket Lab and Iridium together we we really make that complete picture.
And what that essentially means is we are a self launching company.
Um and I think if you look at other companies that have their own rockets and can build their own satellites, um, it's a pretty powerful combination.
Yeah, look y you're you're exactly right.
I mean y you can have all the spacecraft and all the rockets and the hangars you want, um, but if you don't have the spectrum to actually utilize them, especially for communications, uh then it's all for nothing.
And the very unique thing about uh Iridium spectrum is it its L band spectrum.
So, you know, L band is uh particularly effective um in those uh very difficult and harsh conditions.
So not surprisingly, you know, Iridium is built a
very, very strong business uh for you know service servicing safety critical things um and the defense uh you know the the the defense network.
Uh and um so you know this this obviously enables us to build on this.
Um, you know, it's a it's a very established and and profitable b you know business to date.
But uh you know the the spectrum is a incredibly um valuable asset for sure.
No, no, not at all.
I think I mean this this spectrum gives us a you know a fantastic um, you know, baseline and and and head start.
Um if you think about the opposite, uh you know, if we've always said we want to do an application, it would take years and years and years to first, you know, build the constellations of satellites, deploy them and then uh then then of course, you know, that's before you even see your first dollar of revenue.
So this this really supercharges um you know
