with Voyager Space, sounding a deal with Airbus. Now Bob, Voyager Space sounds extremely promising.

Airbus flies aircraft. Airbus is the area on five and six rockets. Airbus is a major rocket

contractor in Europe. Voyager Space is the vision of Nanorax. Nanorax has a contract with NASA.

It is one of four private commercial space stations that is building for the United States.

You have Nanorax, Axiom. You have Orbital Reef. I am blanking on the fourth. Nonetheless,

you have a lot of American space stations being built right now privately. What that would

mean is Europe would be out of the game when these launch because they are not being

done as part of an international cooperative agreement. If Europe wants to get in on

the game, they have to somehow make a deal with one of these American stations. That's

essentially what's happened here. Voyager Space has now signed a deal with Airbus to build

that they say additional technical support, variety of stuff. I suspect that Airbus is actually

going to maybe build a module for the Star Lab station that Voyager Space is building for

NASA. That will be used by the European Space Agency to put its astronauts into orbit.

This is essentially Europe trying to find a way in. I suspect there was the Garciacis

within NASA, ESA, and Voyager to make this deal happen so that Europe would continue
