How difficult it is to, to get all the permissions from, from municipality, from different institutions?
5:30
Um, yeah, so this is kind of a process where I would say, uh, on one side, when you are, like, developing or starting a new business and you, you are thinking about it that, okay, so maybe, uh, it's not that known in your comp- in, in your country or not many companies are really, uh, doing it, means there is no legislation.
5:57
Maybe there is no infrastructure.
5:59
Maybe no one is doing it because it's super complex in your country to do it.
6:03
[laughs] So that's actually, that's actually, like, a big challenge because, uh- We didn't have the legislation ready for that, and, uh, it gave us, like, a lot of work.
6:15
Like, m- my wife was really, like, one year working on it to get the, uh, the, all the permissions, get all the systems, uh, and all the, the contacts for, uh, the, the right people who are, uh, deciding about that.
6:32
And, uh, it's just, like, hard process.

Spiraling
18:09
... spiraling, like you, like you see it here.
18:12
So if you would see it from the top view, then sun is also not going into the perfect, uh, on the perfect line.
18:18
But the, uh, even more impressive was for me to see this, this corkscrew, like how- ... crazy this looks and that it's all in the movement in all the axes, and also that it's not, like, flat, horizontal, or vertical, but you see that it's the entire, like, diagonal thing.
18:36
So yeah, kind of interesting, uh, learning for us as well.
18:43
And then we are getting to, uh, to the sun, where we had to simulate the sun surface.
18:50
We're getting, again, like, close-up images from the satellites to, to simulate the... trying to simulate because everything is live there, so everything is moving.

It's, it's like soul leaving the body after death.
