His Merlin engines, you know, V1, V2, V3, they get smaller, more compact, get it working, and then simplify.

Brian, any appreciation that you want to share on this one?

And by the way, the point you just made about Starship, the reason, you know, SpaceX can do this is because of Starship and its volume.

You know, no one else, I don't think any other vehicle is going to have the level of capacity to build or deploy satellites like this.

I mean, you want to get it down to $100 per kilogram, right?

That's the target price at the end of the day.

And remember, his original filing was for 500,000 of these satellites.

The calculation is like a launch per hour of Starship, 24 hours a day, seven days a week to deploy that.

And then he upped it to a million satellites.

I think, again, the audacity of his scale is extraordinary, but he backs into the numbers as a first principle thinker and he makes it work.

And even more, every large AI company is talking about putting up their orbital data centers.

And now that new Glenn is not functioning, right?

It's going to be down for at least a year, maybe more.

SpaceX is the only story in town.

We'll see if Relativity Space makes it happen or Rocket Labs gets their larger vehicle operating.

This next story, you know, Elon loves building the machines that build the machines.

And so this week, SpaceX announced a gigasat factory.

Love the term giga.

Once again, of course, in Texas.

And they're going to be producing the A1, the AI1 satellites in late 2027.
