I was like, OK, the first thing we need to do before coming up with an idea is get the most incredible space engineers in the world on the team, essentially.
Yes, literally.
That's literally it.
Yeah, exactly.
My pitch to Adi and Ezra was essentially, if you have any ideas that would make sense if the launch cost was 10x less than it is today, I can figure out everything else around that besides building the satellite piece.
How did you find them?
How did you recruit them?
So Ezra and I had grown up in the same place in the UK.
Actually, to be frank, I messaged a lot of space engineers.
Maybe 10 of them took a call and two of them said yes.
That's all you need.
Yeah, 100%.
And this has moved faster than I was expecting as well, to be honest.
You know, we've just seen New York now blocking data centers construction.
You know, for reasons which are not grounded in science, really, you know, it seems like more like vibes than anything else.
Building these things in space will definitely be much easier from a regulatory perspective.
With water specifically, water is really actually just a function of power.
You can cool data centers with no daily consumptive use of water if you just throw more power at the problem, essentially.
And that is what all of the data center companies are now proposing.
It's very unlikely that any data center company proposes any data center that is going to be consuming daily amounts of water.
