We're operating in the hard tech sector. It is a more capital intensive sector. I think we are benefiting from a system that is designed to be efficient with capital. And we're also a system that, you know, we're planning to be operational in the near term horizon. You know, it's not the kind of thing where you have, you know, a 10 year timeline before you can have an operational capability. For us, it's really important to get into the field quickly. I think that's both a business incentive for us, but it's also a mission incentive. You know, space is now the domain of much of our critical infrastructure. It's not, you know, an experimental territory. Space is, it's industrialized. That's very core to our mission is supporting an industrialized space economy where missions can't go down. And so from a mission standpoint, we are very passionate about fielding our technology quickly.
