Yes.
how do you make sure that you you get the service that you need on time.

how comment on the status of these, you know, who we're working with. That's all under NDA, but I'll just say the launch went well. That's all can say. Yeah.
Hahaha Maybe that can you help me understand ⁓ which parts are you expecting to as a service from the other companies? ⁓

I see. Yeah. So like, okay, we're not building like, rocket, for example, right? Or, you know, any any of that stuff, we're exclusively solving for the offworld service habitation
No, no, no. Now, to go back to the latest stage of your Perl goals, that regarding the building and infrastructure, how is it going? Where are you right now?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, the bricks, yes. ⁓ It's in our lab over there. We've, yeah, so we've developed in like literally six weeks, we've developed a prototype in our lab that is designed to make the first, world's first bricks on the moon. ⁓ It's the MVP version of it. So the next step, the next stage is to turn that into flight hardware.
Hahaha

and send it through the moon, which is very exciting. And so what the machine does, it's you can kind of think of it as a black box, right? This is the first product that we have. Actually, we've got a product video, launch video, second launch that's coming very soon. stay tuned for that. But the machine is basically it minds the regular pulls it into our proprietary process, which is patent pending, and then it makes the first bricks on the moon. The other half of this is the inflatable. And so, like I said, in our roadmap, right? Well, what do we need to do to actually do all this and de-risk is like, well, we need to build the most meaningful technology demonstration. That's your next step. Test it on the actual moon. mean, in space engineering, there's a thing called flight heritage, right? NASA has this ranking system called TRL, technology readiness level. Essentially, you're as a space company, you want to like move that up as quickly as possible. You look at star cloud, they're the first guys who like did that data center demonstration in space, right? And that obviously ushered in a whole new era of stuff going on, which is really cool. ⁓ but more importantly, it actually did the thing. I mean, that's kind of the same sense is like when space engineering, you want to prove quickly, ⁓ and meaningfully that you're
