And in terms of sort of social media, what sort of social media platforms do you see film content on? And are you sort of engaging with it? And what does it look like? Is it interviews? Is it sort of fan reactions? Is it trailers? What sort of things are you sort of interacting with?
12:38
Me personally, if I see something on Instagram related to it, then it will probably be the either an edit of it, but that's usually for more like action kind of superhero films.
12:53
Um, or perhaps, uh, an, an interview or like kind of, um, I don't know.
13:02
I don't, I'm not sure what you'd call it quite, but when there's the, uh, two kind of, if there's two leads of like, uh, of a film or something, and then they do like some little fun activity interview, something like that, like, uh, hot ones where they like, I'll say questions about the film and then, uh, have like, something like that.
13:22
Um, and some of those are actually quite funny.
13:25
So I have watched those, but, um, usually that's after the fights or I'll just watch them even if I'm not going to watch a film because, uh, the actors are like, um, and they have time and same people like, uh, uh, Sinners, for example, I did actually watch that film, but I would have watched the Hot Ones interview that...
13:48
What's his name? Michael Dijon or something? I think that's his name.

And what about actors? Does he starring in a film make you more interested in seeing it? And are there particular actors that you'll sort of always go to the cinema for? Dylan?
17:42
Mm-hmm
17:43
... which is intercepting hypersonic missiles from adversaries, typically nuclear-tipped.
17:48
Mission critical.
17:49
If you miss the missile, you lose a city.
17:51
Uh, so that's kind of the highest standard.
17:53
Even sitting above that, a new part of Golden Dome are space-based interceptors.
17:58
So this is intercepting threats that generate or, uh, uh, emanate from space and then trying to eliminate those threats.
18:26
Tell us what's gonna happen.
13:31
So can you walk us through your experience?
13:33
Yeah.
13:34
Well, I appreciate you saying I'm an Alpine climber.
13:36
I wouldn't put myself quite in that category, uh, slick, but I do, I do have this sense for, um, pushing myself, right.
13:44
I do, you know, uh, triathlons and I do, you know, kind of long distance endurance things and a lot of weekend warrior competition.
13:51
So I, I love that part of it.
13:53
And I love the sense of adventure, like, like you were talking about.

6 MINS LATER

20:05
What was that moment?
8:19
And you can
8:19
have your cake and eat it too.
8:21
So I reflected on that.
8:23
How old were you around this time? I was 40.
8:26
No, I was younger, 38.
8:27
It was 38.
8:29
And, you know, just starting our family and had young kids and things like that.

11 MINS LATER

19:58
Yeah.
20:38
I mean, how do you sort of piece together that with what you do? Because I would think that it brings down the costs overall and makes sending up destinations much more economical.
20:48
It does.
20:49
Yeah, it's not only the cost, but as you're alluding to, it's the cadence.
20:52
It's how frequently we're able to launch to orbit.
20:54
So I think right now SpaceX is launching orbital around every 48 hours on average.
21:00
I mean, that's truly unbelievable if you look at the historical track record and exceeds really every nation state in the world, including China.
21:08
So we're very blessed to have this capability, a U.S.-based capability.
22:07
So how likely is that?
24:47
Uh, do you have any thoughts on what that might look like for the moon or, or what, what we might do to enable some of that kind of, you know, tier three Ls kind of building out that level of infrastructure?
24:59
Yeah, I think a couple things.
25:01
I think it's, uh, important that we have consistent policy on this.
25:05
So what would not be ideal is if in 36 months we had a new president and a new administrator, and they said, "Hey, we want to go to Mars and not the moon," right? And you and I have seen that movie before, Brian, where it's, you know, lunar, Mars, lunar, Mars.
25:19
I don't think that's gonna happen.
25:21
I think lunar is, is very bipartisan at this point.
25:24
I, I, I believe that.
29:44
Can you, can you just explain that for the listeners who may not be familiar with that?
