And, you know, you talk about like the joke of like software crashes.

Well, when we were flying drones, they would just crash, fall out of the sky and smash into pieces.

Pretty easy to know when the experiment's over there.

Yes, exactly.

So we would then literally just have to look at the logs, look at the data, go, okay, it failed.

We know it failed.

What have we learned?

And then we go and rebuild the drone, put it back up in the sky, and hopefully the next time it would do a little bit better.

But there was no shortcut here.

We just literally had to get the drone into the sky, get it to fail, figure out why, fix it.

you know, repeat over and over again.

You were trying to disprove why drone delivery would work?

Well, this was the technical breakthrough that we needed.

Okay.

Could we safely and reliably fly drones in order to have a useful, you know, kind of product?

So could it fly two kilometers safely?

Could it drop a package out of the sky on a string?

Uh, could it fly back and could we do it, you know, 99.999% reliably and safe.

Um, and when we started, it was, we could literally keep it in the sky for about 60 seconds and it would fall down like the original prototypes.

Um, you can see what 2013, this is 2013.
