[SPEAKER_02] Alright, we are talking SpaceX IPO, the biggest IPO of all time, and there's a lot of smart analysis out there. This ain't that. Sam, what did you call it? The two guys in a truck version of this? What did you say? Two idiots and an S1.

[SPEAKER_00] I feel like I can rule the world, I know I could be what I want to. I put my all in it like no days off. On the road, let's travel never look at bad.

[SPEAKER_02] Or, you know, there's going to be people who are smarter, wealthier, more technical than us that are explaining SpaceX. But we promise to be the most relatable analysis you're going to get. Because I wanted to nerd out on this myself. I was like, should I be buying this IPO? Should I be buying this stock? And in order to do that, I was like, okay, let me sit down for a couple hours and just try to understand what even is this business? How does it work? Is this massively overrated? Is it underrated? How should I think about this? What do they even do?

[SPEAKER_02] And so that's where I spent some time. Sam was picking through the S1 trying to find some of the more interesting, quirky, people aren't talking about this, but check this out, styled nuggets. So that's what we're going to try to do in the next hour or so.

[SPEAKER_01] I'll just play the character. It's all acting. But what would you say SpaceX does?

[SPEAKER_02] Okay, so SpaceX, what do they do? SpaceX builds rockets. I think that's the primary thing that they do. They build rockets, ideally rapidly reusable rockets, and they can take stuff into space. Now, why do you want to take stuff into space? Well, one version of take stuff into space and the origin of the company is let's take man to Mars. So how do we become multi-planetary as a species? That was the, you know, way, way back. That was the original mission, still, you know, a part of the mission.

[SPEAKER_02] And I guess the origin of that was that they, you know, Elon, after he sold, I think it was PayPal. After PayPal sold, he made a few hundred million dollars, $200 million or so. And he was interested and excited about when NASA was going to go to Mars. Oh, I wonder where the Mars mission is at for NASA. And he goes on the website. He looks it up, sees nothing about a Mars mission. He's like, wait, we went to the moon in whatever, 79. We have nothing planned to go past that?

[SPEAKER_01] Like he's planning a vacation. He's like, hey, so like I have some free time. Let's see if we can like take the kits to Florida and like watch like a rocket take off. How cool would that be?

[SPEAKER_02] Exactly. Exactly. And so he was looking at that. Okay, it's not happening. So then he thought, oh man, you know, go into space, go into the moon. That's a very inspiring thing. What if we funded a mission to take, I think it was like a plant. It's like a little succulent or something into,...
