You know, if you are under pressure in really high stakes situations or you're seeing something that's really wild, it's going to drive you to action.

You know, I mean, think Manhattan Project, Apollo program, all these things that really drove humans to the edge of technological innovation.

To me, this is just another gift in that same category that can help us advance.

And I look at, you know, my family's history.

So my grandfather flew the B-21.

My dad flew the F-4 and the F-16 in the Cold War.

You know, basically everything.

Ready to drop a nuclear bomb at any time.

And then I got to fly the F-15E, which is like all these are just massive leaps in technology when you go from a B-21 to an F-4 to an F-15E.

And now my colleagues are out flying F-35s and F-22s and we got the F-47 on the way.

So the advancements in aeronautical technology are insane.

And I can't help but think some of this advancement is probably because of that competitive pressure that's pushing us.

And again, it could be even being intertwined by certain government contractors right now that have access to it.

And that's got to stay pretty hush hush, you know, if you're to keep it from Russia and China.

I think David Grush commented, you know, it shouldn't be just one contractor that has access to this.

And I think that's true.

But you can't I don't think you should have 100.

And I'm a capitalist.

Trust me, I believe in capitalism.

But when you start to thin it out to so many different people, you just run the risk with every every extra person you add on or every extra company you add on.
