It feels to me like most of our questions will weave between engineering and entrepreneurship.

So perhaps you can continue to blend those by telling us the process of making acquisitions to be a payload provider, to own the payload, why that's significant and how far you are in that process, how complicated it is to assemble that and why it matters.

Just a succinct light question for you about investors in Rocket Lab.

If an investor today wanted to align their time horizon with your time horizon as an investor, how long should they be thinking about holding the stock?

There's so much of a transactional dynamic in the public markets with a lot of information.

One of the biggest challenges we face at The Motley Fool is to teach the importance of finding something that you want to be an owner of.

and the benefits of that.

So the dream is to align with the CEO's time horizon.

Now, some CEOs are very transactional themselves.

So everybody's at a different pace with a different time horizon on their vision.

What's the proper time horizon to align with your vision?

And in that spirit, can you talk a little bit about the culture at Rocket Lab?

You know, a company that's squeezing years of hours into a month, yet also trying to build something that will succeed for generations.

How do you align the work, not burn out in the process and match it with something that's designed to sustain as an independent company for decades?

Sir Peter Beck, the founder and CEO of Rocket Lab, ticker symbol RKLB, naturally will be a very volatile stock.

Many of the greatest companies have very volatile stocks as they bring something into the world that others try and figure out how consequential it will be, what risks they will need to endure as a shareholder.

And so we're excited to be on that journey with you and your team and your company.

And we wish you the very best and thank you for 60 minutes of your time.

No, thanks very much, guys.

It's been fun.
