So I'm a big space geek and techno geek. I just love futuristic things that are coming our way.

0:06.2

But every time I see Elon Musk and he's talking about going to Mars and then he talks to, you know,

0:11.5

just his own presentation, little alone, all the people that are around him, I realize,

0:16.0

you know, while everybody's like, hey, would you go to Mars, they're not going to ask me because I'm
