When you start looking at quantum computing, when you start combining those three quantum capabilities, sensing, computing, communication, and you can affordably cool it down to the levels where it can be operationalized, Now you've broken every code that ever was. I don't care how good your encryption is, they see every secret, every code, everything.
From Bitcoin to things like the techniques of blockchain. Forget it, it's all gonna change. And so there's an example of why not being in space with logistics and infrastructure to be able to move, to see, and to operate It can make you vulnerable.

Well, you know, it's been quite a while. You know, you can look back. It's been at least two years. And, you know, the problem here is theβ in my view, it is that we do not have a sense of how dramatically things will change with these technologies that are in space. We build better satellites than anybody on the planet, okay? We build better fighters, tanks, ships, submarines.

We build really cool stuff, better than anybody else in the world in many cases. There are exceptions, of course. But What beats good technology is a superior strategy. So China may not, they may be a fast follower where they look a lot like our F-22 in their fighters. They look a lot like Elon Musk's rocket ships.

They may be a fast follower, but they aren't interested in making better technology. They are building a strategy of logistics and infrastructure in space. that will change the game for the energy and information market on Earth. And we are on a strategy that builds better satellites to do the same things we've done before.

And there are efforts to do these other things, but it's not fueled by the kind of money to operationalize it and really compete. This is why, you know, strategy eats technology for lunch.

Well, we know they're mining. We know they're bringing back, because we can see what they're bringing back. And this is all open source. In open source, you can see some of the things that China's doing. And so we have evidence of some of the things they're doing, but we don't know the extent. And that's part of the problem.

And this goes back to why truth and information is the most important element. Because it's back to Sun Tzu and the art of war. Know thy enemy, know thyself. And if you are deceived in your own arrogance and your own dominance of the past, that what you did in the past is sufficient to win in the future, eventually you're gonna be a dead man.
