Amazon is so far behind in the race to create this Starlink competitor.

They need at least 24 Blue Origin launches to get up to the FCC requirement of how many satellites you need in orbit to offer internet connection to a lot of people.

So that doesn't help with that.

But the big thing here is not actually losing the rocket because you can rebuild a rocket relatively quickly in a few months these days.

The launch pad, though, is so messed up at this point.

One of the technologies

towers fell.

One of the launch towers fell.

The concrete is damaged badly as well.

So that you cannot rebuild in months.

And that's a very specialized and expensive launch pad.

That is going to take a lot longer.

So now the timelines are all out of whack for their commercial satellite business, but also, as you said, for the Artemis mission going to the moon.

I want to talk about this 1866 rule, though, because it has a very funny origin story.

So a treasury official during that year somehow managed to get his own face on a five cent note, by the way, which is crazy.

We're already up to $250 notes.

And since then, no living person has appeared.

He's like, wait a second.

why don't I just put my own self on it?
