We're here to talk about Impulse Space.

Can you reset the table for us, reintroduce the company, give us the news, tell us what's happening, and then I have a million questions about the space broadly, but let's kick it off with that.

um it's a lot happening right now i can imagine um uh so there's been so much excitement about leo starlink uh planet labs you put a camera up there you put a wi-fi router up there basically not to simplify too much but uh even varda manufacturing and leo like all so much of the attention's been on leo that i think

A lot of people have sort of lost the reference classes for what happens in higher orbits.

Can you give us some examples of what's interesting at higher orbits, whether that's Middle Earth orbit, I think.

Is that what it's called, MEO?

Middle Earth.

is just hilarious because it's the Lord of the Rings reference, but MEO, GEO, I understand geostationary orbits are sometimes useful, but give us the 101 on why someone would be unsatisfied with just YOLOing endless satellites into LEO in perpetuity.

So we have, we have the capability to get to geo.

Obviously there are satellites currently in geo.

You mentioned there's maybe a dozen launches that sounded annual, like maybe something like that going up there.

So we have the capability, like the rockets exist, but it's uneconomical.

And so the, the value problem of impulse, just to say it back to you is get on a rocket that's going to Leo, but end up in geo and not

You don't need to pull all of those resources.

You're sort of unlocking geo based on all of the LEO capability that we have in spades.

Is that right?

I didn't realize that.

I didn't realize that was an option.

That's so interesting.

I'll have to research more of that.
