[01:21:16] S1: Exactly. It's like to to to fuel the factories and the mining and all the other things that are happening in space. You wouldn't need to send stuff back to to the Earth. [01:21:25] S0: Alright. Listen. This has been another amazing episode of This Week in Startups. Let's do a little promo here. We have this new tactical and practical newsletter.

But if you ask Lon by his email to give you a free one, and you make it to this point in the program, you just email Lon. Lon at Launch, and he'll give you a free year. [01:21:53] S1: Please put that in the title of the email so it's [01:21:56] S0: Subject line. Free year. [01:21:57] S1: Yeah. Free year. Free year of the newsletter, I'll I'll find it. No problem.

[01:22:25] S0: Make them free on x for now. [01:22:27] S1: Oh, I can do that too. Yeah. I can do that too. [01:22:29] S0: Just make them free for now and see if we get engagement on them, and then what we can do is you can always change them to paid later. Right? We could flip them. But for now [01:22:39] S1: I believe I could [01:22:39] S0: go do that. [01:22:40] S1: I could go back and retroactively flip them. I've been putting... I could see. I've been putting them up for subscribers. [01:22:45] S0: But Have we gotten our first x.com to subscribe yet? [01:22:48] S1: I don't don't believe we have. But I wanted to start filling in the archive. [01:22:53] S0: But this will be great. We wanna, like, literally get people the ability to subscribe there, subscribe here. And then I also want them to be able to subscribe on YouTube. So I want to set up YouTube subscriptions. So you're going to be able to pay $100 a year to be part of the community, get the newsletter, get the show. Because they get the show without ads first before anybody. Right? [01:23:12] S1: Well, because it's done it's done earlier. So you are getting the the show as soon as it's finished being cut. No ads. It goes out to the substack folks first. And then, you know, we... The the other people have to wait for us to edit and put in the ads and finish the show. And so it's a few hours.
