You think we're going to Mars?

Yeah, I think we're going.

Do you really?

Yeah, I think it all... I mean, what, next year is the next window?

And I think internal goal at SpaceX is let's ship something in 2026.

Yeah, if you don't go 2026, you have to wait, I think, a couple more years before a good window opens again.

So there's urgency.

What's the window?

That I should know.

I think it's, you can always go, but when the planets are very close, the energy that's required is much lower.

So if you want to get there quickly, something like a six-month journey, you've got to go in one of these periods.

And these periods I think are every, could be wrong, I think they're every three or four years.

Yeah, they're not every decade.

They're not every year.

It's in the middle.

So you miss this next window, you're waiting a little bit.

And so I think, you know, NASA has sent stuff to Mars.

We've obviously have the rover, but sending more to Mars, first missions will not be people for probably a while.

I think we'll prove we can send something, prove we can land something.

Then we'll ship actual large amounts of cargo en masse to prepare for humans to go there.
