The reason I had confidence in it is because we had such a strong engineering team.
So if you have the world's best space engineers saying this is possible, and to be frank, my background isn't as a space engineer.
But, you know, I have full confidence in my two co-founders, one from SpaceX, the other was building satellites for NASA.
Saying it's possible, then, you know...
Before they built the thing that they're going to launch.
Before they built the thing.
Before they probably even know what they're going to launch.
Booking a launch is such a good forcing function for a space company.
So we founded the company January 1st, 2024.
January 2nd, we booked the first available SpaceX rideshare launch.
And it was cheap.
It was like 300 grand.
It was 18 months out, and then it got pushed to 21 months out.
And we were like, okay, something is going to be on that rocket.
I'm not 100% sure what it's going to be at this point, but something is going to be on there.
That's interesting.
Yeah, yeah.
And what we initially planned to launch was very unimpressive, actually.
It was like we were going to put a Jetson chip, which has been flown on many satellites before, and we were going to use it for kind of edge processing and things.
We actually had a co-founder change quite early on when we got Addy from SpaceX.
