Anthony, like, on the commercial side of things, are, are these commercial companies looking towards this as, as just another avenue for contracts, way to make money, things like that?

I don't know.

This is, this is a tough storyline for me to get my head around, to be honest, because, uh, in...

This administration has had such a touch-and-go relationship with, uh, attracting, retaining, keeping talent around, right? We spent the first, you know, the, the pre-Isaacman era, I would say, the, the Sean Duffy NASA era.

That year, right, the, the bleak year that we all were going through, there was a huge departure of people within NASA.

Uh, just...

And not NASA only, right? There was many organizations in the government going through this, between DOGE and, and everything else that was happening.

Anthony, is, is this, is this new territory for commercial space companies where, you know, this, this administration has been quite friendly to commercial space and, and now they've got to walk a fine line?

First of all, why does this matter? It's huge

news.

Rocket Lab has been obviously one of the better companies in this era of commercial space.

They've been not quite as much of an outlier status as SpaceX, but they are certainly launching a lot of rockets.

They've got a lot of new products coming online.

They've had a lot of acquisitions over the last several years since they went public.

They used a lot of that funding to acquire different suppliers.

So, I mean, Iridium has been doing this since like the 90s, right? I mean, what, is it just this idea that Rocket Lab can have a constellation or do they want some of this business to, or do we even know? I mean, this could be speculative.

Why is a space company getting involved in AI in the first place?

Yeah, I'm at a weird apex where like half of my life is spent talking about space and the other half is running a software design and development company.

So I'm like living the industrial revolution that's happening on one side of my life and then watching the other interest of my life eat that ambition.

So I'm actually...

I don't mean to laugh, but...

No, it's crazy, man.

But I'm here for the storyline.

Are those conversations being had now? Are there concerns for SpaceX's AI data centers that are going to be also congesting low Earth orbit at a massive scale from what I hear?
