That's the sort of thing that if you could actually get an autonomous system to do that really well, logistically it becomes easier, reduces risk in theory if you can get it to work really well, and it also is kind of like a prime target for risk reduction.
So I think there are larger assets where it does make sense, but the tradeoff is really in human lives and total cost because at some point in either of those calculations, these things are no longer considered to be attributable.
Yeah, it was incredibly fast.
We kind of did the ribbon cutting for the land that we were building on in January.
I think it was January of last year of 2025.
And then factory is up and running in May of 2026.
We rolled our first fighter plane off the line on Monday of this week with the governor.
And so things were very, very rapid.
We can talk about this for a long time.
There are a lot of advantages that we had going in.
We had an existing building, an 800,000 square foot building.
It was just a shell, just a concrete shell.
But we weren't starting totally Greenfield.
We had utility support to the site.
Jobs Ohio, which is the economic development agency for the state of Ohio, was partnered very closely with us on making sure that we had the resources that we needed to get that facility up and running.
But of course, there is like a tremendous...
operations effort that had to go into building, like designing the facility, building out all of the office space, setting up the factory line.
And that's still a work in progress.
We're not totally done with building one, but we've already stood up the shell of building two next door.
So that will be in flight as well.
