Q For those who don't know your origin story for Impulse and why you decided to go after this after SpaceX, could you share more on that?
A Uh, sure. Yeah, I, I was, um, a founding employee at SpaceX. I developed, I led the development of the, the propulsion systems for Falcon and Dragon, and, and also started the origins of what became Starship. Um, my, probably my proudest development was the Merlin engine, which is, which is currently flying on Falcon nine, the most reliable rocket engine ever developed, and also the highest thrust of weight of any rocket engine ever developed. But I, I worked on Starship for the last six years that, uh, that, uh, SpaceX. So when I left, I had the plan of, you know, launch mostly being solved or is being solved. It's like the next big opportunity is to move all that, all that payload, all that cargo around in space. So I started impulse space to do in space transportation as opposed to from earth to space transportation, which was SpaceX. So we feel like The next step is in space transportation, including to, to the moon and, and landers on the moon, which we're also bidding on.
