But this is really a science talk, and it's really an engineering talk, and what was amazing to me about that experience is that Taber said, yes, I think we can build a stratospheric suit, and more than that, come down tomorrow and let's talk to the team that fmeord the core of the group that actually built it. And they did something which I think is important, which is they took the analogy of scuba diving. So in scbua diving, you have a self-contained system. You have everything that you could ever need. You have a scuba tank. You have a wetsuit. You have visibility. And that scuba is exactly this steysm, and we're going to launch it into the stratosphere.
