#202 Steve Kwast โ€“ How China is Mining the Moon and Weaponizing Space

That's the stage we're at with quantum. It's like we have just seen a lightning bolt start a fire. And we can observe what's happening and some of the effects of that, but we have no clue why or how. So let's start with quantum sensing. Quantum sensing, and then we'll go to quantum computing, and then we'll go to quantum communication.

Quantum sensing is capable of detecting anything that moves on the Earth. And again, this is why space and quantum are gonna be such a powerful mixture of technologies that will change fate. and why we need to be leaders in this to defend our values. Because ultimately, all of this competition with China, Russia, anybody else is about who can protect their values.

I don't wanna change China's values if they wanna do what they're doing, but I wanna sure as hell protect our values. So here it is with quantum sensing. Imagine now with the right quantum sensing, You can see and understand the precise velocity position of anything that moves down to a net or less Okay, so you can understand exactly what's going on.

Okay, and you can do it with with incredibly low energy levels and low cost and This is why the ultimate strategic high ground of space is going to be so important in defending our values, defending our sovereignty, defending our culture, and defending our economy. So that's sensing. Let's talk about communication. Or let's talk about computation.

So I talked about, well, Microsoft making an announcement a couple months ago about their quantum computer. And it may have been in the breakfast or the earlier time that I mentioned this, if I haven't mentioned it with you. So they announced where they're at with quantum, and it is astounding.

because they will be able to crack every code and every blockchain, everything we have ever invented to keep any secret. They will be able to know it almost immediately. And so there are no secrets. And yet the people that have this quantum capability can have the Fort Knox of security.

But for that quantum computation that can do all of this and turn AI into a super tool for humanity, you need to cool that quantum computer down to much less than one Kelvin, which is almost to the point where molecules no longer move at all, absolute zero. The best we can do right now with any form of efficiency is a hydrogen cooling technique, but that only gets you down to about one Kelvin.
