And it's also interesting to see, like, you know, I'm a real NASA Apollo program nerd.
I actually watched...
how people rebuilt the Apollo computers in modern times just for posterity, just to see how the... I'm a huge dork with NASA.
And so it's interesting to see how much technology has come.
You see these astronauts, they went to the moon.
America sent people to the moon with less computing power than a Casio wristwatch.
You know, and now they've got, we've got, they're like on their phones.
I think they Outlook, they had Outlook at the moon.
They were like star linking, you know, like the tech now is, can you imagine like what, 60 years improved?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know, they're still using, you know, in Apollo 13, they're still using like pen and paper in the, you know, stopwatch.
they call back and people are like doing the math equations back in using a slide ruler using a slide ruler so technology has come a long way you know I don't know what this means for the future you know hopefully hopefully this leads to something but I'm just saying the humanities aspect of it alone I think was worth the 200 billion dollars they burned up just to give humans a single moment of connection with people that might be different from them four people four people were cured yeah
Four astronauts were cured of their hatred.
We just got to keep doing that.
We just got to keep doing that.
Just send people out, four people at a time.
Eventually, we'll get to everyone on Earth.
