And we did the whole of StarCloud 2, including the launch, for $2 million.

Yeah.

So, yeah, leading up to the launch, I mean, we got the most incredible separation video.

I think we're going to play it now.

So half the time as it deploys, it will be behind the shadow of the earth and you don't see anything.

The other half of the time it will deploy not into the silhouette of the earth.

And so, I mean, it just is the most perfect, uh, like deployment video I've ever seen.

And this was played by Jensen as he walked on stage at the GTC conference this year, this five story tall, like a screen behind him playing the star cloud one separation.

Um, so no, it was the most incredible feeling seeing this, uh, deploy.

So we took the whole team down.

Yeah, there was only 12 in the team at the time of Star Club 1 launch.

So we took the whole team to Florida.

And we had like 100 friends and family, investors.

Some of our team brought their family and kids down.

And it was a real nice, really nice day.

We're going to release a behind-the-scenes video of some of the family moments in that launch.

Yeah.

So it lifted off.

We were all on what they call the banana bleachers.

It's like the famous from the Apollo era, but it was in the middle of the night.
