Yeah.

I mean, that's why I'm so excited about the UAP Disclosure Act, if it ends up becoming law, because there will be this ability to start to maybe eke some of this out.

And again, it's the reason why I think this commercial opportunity is the direction we want to go, where we have a sort of public-private partnership, is that the defense budget in and of itself is a zero-sum game.

We're taking money from one program to give to another.

Whether you're taking it from your taxes, you're taking it from veterans insurance, et cetera, it's a zero-sum game.

Whereas if you bring the investment community in, now you're bringing in people who are willing to take a chance and willing to take a risk, and you're not using the public's money anymore.

And that excites me.

The reason why I wanted to go back to Stanford is because the

The entrepreneurial environment there and now, which is actually almost homegrown here in Austin, is really what drives innovation.

And so I want to excite that kind of community.

And again, the Soul Foundation is a place where we can bring people in and we've got investors who show up now.

who are talking to people about their ideas and what would we do with this.

And so it almost has now a self-propelling movement where I don't need to be standing on a wooden box somewhere in the middle of the park saying, you know, look at this, look at this.

People are just doing it now.

There's now a whole...

almost a cottage industry of small groups or formalized groups who are doing this independently now.

So it's almost like it's inevitable.

So Skywatcher, as an example, you probably know the Skywatcher group.

And Jake Barber.

No, it's strange because people said, oh, we stopped.
