I mean, and the scores for kids getting in to high school are not that good.

And I definitely wasn't the type of person who did well on standardized tests.

I did well on the ones in school because I cared about the teacher.

I'm trying to impress.

But yeah, it was neat because it was a public school, but it was very much like a little bit of this vibe of like-

Private, yeah, type of school experience in the sense of you're at a boarding school.

But it was nice because then it could get kids from all over.

Like even our elementary school was like you're busing kids in from all over the city.

And so you have a lot of like just gifted kids from like various socioeconomic backgrounds there.

And then similarly with like the boarding school aspect lets you be from anywhere in Illinois.

Wow.

So it was nice.

Yeah.

So it was the PhDs plus the fact that the founder was a physicist, like a Nobel laureate in physics, who then somehow when the plane is final assembly near an airport nearby this high school, and he thinks it's cool.

He's like, oh, you can be a physicist.

And then suddenly that gets into our minds.

And then all of these aerospace executives who were running these private aerospace companies.

So I guess not Richard Branson, but...

Elon Musk and Bezos both liked physics for whatever reason.

They either dropped out of some physics-ish material science degree at Stanford or thought about majoring at Princeton.
