Three areas to look at for the new Trump administration in 73, 74 days.

I believe it's called the Sentinel Program, Miniman 3, something like that.

Underway now, testing now.

how soon are you going to do this? There's an old adage, spending delays as good as money

safe, and they are going to encounter in this new administration

it's a hard rock of having to come up with more money the space program that is military

only gets 17 billion dollars the nuclear annual expenditure expenditure somewhere between 70 and 80 billion

Then there's the whole problem of being in command, control, and communication with these systems.

That needs to be upgraded. So long story short, you may have to put more priority on one thing versus another, and you may have to go
