Q That's phenomenal. I hope you know that. It's pretty incredible to be 15 months old. You were at SpaceX for nine years. Can you just talk more, go deeper into how this all started? And before we get too deep, obviously, I think the fundraising activity is super, super exciting, but we didn't talk about what Revel is. So could you explain what Revel is and how you started this?
A So just real quick, Revel is a platform for controlling and testing hardware systems. And I think kind of going way back, I've, you know, I grew up Building machines with my dad in the garage. Could never actually kind of write the, or make them do anything. Fast forward into college, I was, worked at a research lab in robotics, and then kind of similar story, I could like, I could design the whole, the robot, I could even fabricate, I could machine it, uh, but then I could not actually write the control software to go make it do what I wanted to do. So I ended up getting a, you know, Um, getting a computer science masters. I was a mechanical undergrad, and then later at SpaceX, it was really interesting. It was essentially the same problem at a much larger scale. We needed to write a lot of control software for the launch site, for the rocket as well, and there were all these kind of solutions that had been developed over the eighties, eighties and nineties, and that were, some of them were in use at SpaceX, but they were, you know, three decades old at this point. And, uh, overall it's just like this space has just seen, there's like, I think there's actually kind of a brain drain in this space. Like all these solutions were developed in the eighties and nineties. And then I think all the software engineers in the world got very excited about like the internet and, and worked…
