“And it's designed to support hundreds of antennas in production. So a lot more antennas going to a lot more parts of the world and supporting a lot more space traffic.”

“You need to, ah, send data. That is like how you monetize space.”

“They are, they're monetizing bits and the customers that are buying their bits are the ones that need more reliability and flexibility than maybe like SpaceX driven architecture.”

“So all of that translates to a lot more networking on the ground, which today is super expensive, and it is also really long to deliver. And so both, like, the cost and the time horizon that they need to address that against, think about, like, You know, 18 mo…”

“I think like it's helpful to have founders that are kind of a step ahead of you so that you can kind of understand what are the problems that are gonna be around the corner.”

“I do think you know, Steve Jobs isn't the name that's mentioned as much anymore. Well, maybe that's an understatement. But I think, like, there's a lot of emphasis on, on the Elon mode, which I think is true, but also I think, like, the things that I really re…”

“We want to basically like be an index for space where whatever use case winds up panning out for space, we're able to support it.”

“If we want to accomplish serving the Stanford dish while serving a lot of other things, we probably would build something that's more modular. They could add up in the sum of its parts to the kind of performance that's required for that operation. But in the m…”

“I mean, statistically, I kind of have, like, the boring answer, but just, like, statistically, yes, I feel like there is other life out there and it's just, you know, a matter of probabilities that will eventually Collide with us in some form.”

“If I were to, like, look forward into the space industry, I think you know, if you analogize to the internet, like, you have a couple of kind of platform infrastructure plays that really wind up becoming enmeshed across the internet. And, you know, it's not li…”

“I mean, like, our biased answer is that ground is, is really critical for that. Obviously, it's not the only thing. Like, I think you know, to unlock the innovation, like, you know, power is a huge constraint for space, and so, you know, being able to do more …”

“We're building the ground network for the industrialized space economy. You know, we view it kind of as the third critical pillar of infrastructure for space where you need to get things into space on rockets. You need to have things to put into space, which a…”

“The challenge with that is if you don't have your latency down low enough to be able to give the information, it's pretty much useless, right? Like if you deliver information like an hour later, then you can't you can't deliver anything actionable and helpful …”

“No, it's very near term. It's very real term. Very real term. Very, very real. Yeah. Across a number of different applications.”

“I think like so far we've been pursuing partnership there, but like if the need presented itself to stretch onto that side, we have amazing engineers that would be very capable of doing something like that.”

“She's just, like, doing probably more positive techno-optimism, like, proselytization... She is, she's a very, very important voice, very underrated, whereas, like, a lot of the a lot of the techno-optimist people, like, we exist in this, like, echo chamber.”
