Just the power in space that they're investing in, not only the solar power that we talked about, beaming it to the earth, but also nuclear power and their plans to have a nuclear power plant in space in the coming years. If they can tap into the telecommunication market globally and the energy market globally, trillions of dollars flow into the Chinese economy.

And it's because space with one build of an infrastructure can tap into every person on the planet versus a linear model where you build one power plant and now you're limited to the capital investment of power lines and then the fact that those power lines are vulnerable. There is a tremendous amount of cost in a linear system of delivery of goods and services versus a networked method.
