[00:41:23] S1: Mhmm. [00:41:24] S0: It's just not true. There is no free space left in defense. Every major contract that we go after, we compete with Lockheed. We compete with Northrop. We compete with RTX. We compete with General Dynamics. We also have to work... We have to work with them in some cases. You know, we just announced a few weeks ago that we're building a massive submarine shipyard to build super modules for Virginia class submarines. We have to work with General Dynamics Electric Boat to make that happen. Did... When we started the company, did we think we're gonna build nuclear submarines? No. But in order to play in this ecosystem, you're gonna have to do all of this stuff over time. And so there's no such thing as like a niche domain defense tech company if your plan is to be a next generation prime. And and I think you just have to, like, really think about the implications of that. [00:42:10] S1: That's a pretty good answer. I will call it here. Trae, thank you for showing up with authenticity and kind of, like, relaying us with a bunch of your stories. You're always welcome back at SPC. Thank you so much. [00:42:20] S0: Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.
