Mike Gruss: "The White House and NASA have put all of you, it's fair to say, on a pretty quick timeline here. I want to know what that looks like and what it feels like, because I think it can be easy to say, 'Oh, we're working hard. We're working fast.' But show me what that looks like. So, Jaret, you worked at SpaceX for a little bit. What did you learn about moving fast there, and and how does that apply to what you have to do between now and the next two years?"
Jaret Matthews (Founder & CEO, Astrolab): "One thing I learned at SpaceX is that the direction in which you're going is as important as the speed. You know, it's really about velocity, and running really fast in the wrong direction is not going to get you anywhere. So, I really appreciate the kind of clarity that NASA has provided as of late about their plans into the future with the whole moon base architecture and how the various missions are additive towards the ultimate goal of a sustained presence on the moon. Being very mission focused and understanding the goal clearly is super helpful."
