To be transformed . Thanks, chris. Its great to be with you, too. I had been at nasa in the 1990s working under the nasa administrator at the time dan goldman who wasly actively and successfully in many ways working to transformra nasa.

And nasa had sort of lost its way i think after the shuttle accidents when they didnt have the ability to get more people into space for lower costs, more reliably. That was the goal off the shuttle.
