Wondering if there was ever a point when he looked at doug and said this is not what...

Are trying to create a robust commercial marketplace in lowearth orbit great we need spacex to get customers that are not nasa. We want to be a customer, but we want to be one of many customers. What we are doing is giving spacex a lot of leash. We have contracted for them to do the launch independently, but make no mistake, our engineers and our technicians have been involved in the developing of this capability, and our astronauts have been involved in it. We want to be one customer of many. W...

Stage one and stage two, engine chill has started. We have heard the callout. Stage one engine chill has started....

The Artemis Program and the moon to mars program, i think the Business Model has proven it well very successful. We are bringing down costs, increasing access, and that will spacexe to happen and and others can get more customers. Nasa does not want to be the owner and operator of the heart or the only customer. We want spacex to go get customers that are not as.

Question from twitter. Probably for you, chris. From rick. When they opened the hatch to dragon have that new car smell . It absolutely did. In fact, there was a space smell in the vestibule that when we got that hatch open you could tell it was a brandnew vehicle with smiley faces on the other side, smiley face on mine and just as if you had bought a new car, the same reaction.
