You know, he vertically integrated. He builds the whole rocket engine himself. And that means he can control and reduce the number of parts. He can say, hey, you know, these three parts should be combined because it'll be more efficient. And that's how you get the asymmetric advantage and the leaps, the ability to innovate on these things.

And so that's where I say, it's not that we're not good at making things in this country, it's that the old way of doing it is not competitive anymore. We need this new way, much more vertically integrated, much more creative. His R&D engineers at SpaceX sit on the factory floor of assembly. Usually these are thought of as two totally different things.

You have people who design the parts, you have people who assemble the parts. You know, but actually, if the engineers can see what's happening in assembly that's causing it to be slow, what's causing quality issues, it might change how you design the parts. And so how are they going to observe that if they're not physically sitting together?

It sounds so simple, but it speaks to the cultural thing, and it's resonant with forward-deployed engineering, right? So how do we leverage this, like, uniquely American perspective on doing these things to just get back to being the best in the world at doing it again?

Well, I'm talking to colleagues in the national security community about it to see if there's a way of doing it. I'm also trying to just do it through the front door. Are there companies in particular where we can provide capital to reinvigorate it? The easy place to start is in the US. You have a lot of these mid-tier suppliers They are actually family-owned.
