[00:00:00]If there was one uh moment in sort of the storied history of of all these companies that you would have loved to have witnessed in person, what would it be?

[00:00:14]>> I mean, I I truly I think the best is yet to come. I think >> that's no doubt.

[00:00:19]>> I think we'll live to see us land on on Mars. Um a human land on Mars. I think that'll be I mean how lucky are we to be alive that I don't know if that will seem bigger in in through a historical lens than the moon. Maybe maybe not. But um it's going to be unbelievable. I mean I think a slow motion one is just going to be like robo taxis all over the world. I think we're going to that will be one that people will completely take for granted. That'll be an incredible celebration just like watching traffic death slowly die and watching everyday people get to interact with like a miracle of technology that changes their everyday life. I think that'll be very meaningful. Um I mean historically I think probably being present at the the uh the first booster catch might have been the most like um huge celebration that that was probably one where it was like felt like more upside. I think some of the other you know the first the getting to orbit for the first time was just more like relief than than joy is is kind of how he describes it. But yeah, I think I think just we're so lucky to be alive in this era.

[00:01:28]>> I think with the uh with the with the um with the catch I think if anybody had saw me in front of my TV when that happened, you may have reacted the same uh [laughter] like a 5-year-old boy on Christmas jumping up and down. That was that was amazing. Um good answer. I agree. The best is yet to come. What what what would have been an interesting I think uh to witness was the story um in the Isacson biography about him ripping out the axe data centers.

[00:01:57]>> Uh I think it was at Christmas too, right?

[00:02:00]>> Um >> like [ __ ] it. Let's just order U-Hauls and we'll do this ourselves.

[00:02:05]>> That would have been that would have been an interesting uh >> party to be involved.

[00:02:09]>> The the XAI data center build would have been pretty crazy too more recently.

[00:02:13]>> Yeah. Um, yeah, that was that I mean that's an incred that's also an incredible like thinking in limits, first principles, attack the bottleneck kind of story. Um, yeah.
