And its great in that kind of looking the giant mountains. If im not mistaken youre the Second Company to be kicked off of tech shop for being successful finally, theres we have robby from planet labs who does, you know, Rocket Science among others and robby tell us more. Absolutely. We at that planet labs design and build and manufacture observation satellites. We put those staeltsz in space and take pictures of the planet. In december of this year were going to launch the work out are words largest of 28 satellites this will help us go insight into the planet. But from the standpoint of manufacturing and where were here and markers theres actually our shared investors and they had a blog on investors going pro and we were doing the same thing but we started pro tipping and building a satellite in our garage and we built them differently.
