Can we give them another round of applause? I want to say my job is to close this out here for this morning, so I'll just make a couple of remarks.
Pedro AlmeidaGUEST
And also, thanks to our hosts here at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and to Southwest Airlines, CAP Logistics, and everyone who made this morning possible.

Greg AutryGUEST
Hey, you know, uh, to the, to the point that, uh, Andrew made, I, I wanna, uh, mention, for years we've been told we have a half a billion dollar space economy.
Greg AutryGUEST
The number generally came from the Space Foundation Space Report.
Greg AutryGUEST
If you dug into those numbers, you found out that half of that or even more than half of that was dish networks and DirecTV and, uh, SiriusXM content.
Greg AutryGUEST
Be- uh, they, they were counting the entire revenues of those companies as the space economy, and the reality is the content they were transmitting was the valuable stuff.
Sean KeyHOST

Greg AutryGUEST
... tangible.
Sean KeyHOST
Yeah, and Dr. Garrison has even broke it down to where, where the space enable economy, and then the space enabler, you know? Where, what, 'cause I think the s- the NSS reported, the Space Foundation reported, like, a $700 billion industry, but two thirds of that is space enabled, and the, the, the actual space economy is only, like, 200 billion, so when you look at those numbers.
Sean KeyHOST
So under that-
Yasmin GagneHOST
But generally, the space economy is huge.
Yasmin GagneHOST
In fact, it's nearly doubled in the last decade, reaching $686 billion in 2025, according to the Space Foundation.
Yasmin GagneHOST
But defining what you're actually investing and when you're investing in the space industry is pretty complex.
