"But there's another fundamentally different ratio that I want to point you to, which is what if we took the valuation, we divided it by the number of launches, what would that look like? Well, you can see it was kind of in a fixed range for a while, and then it really started to move up. And we believe that markets are rational, and so we started thinking, well, why is it that the market is valuing SpaceX higher on a per launch basis when it's launching more than when it was just starting out? And my fundamental view, and we'll kinda call this our code two framework, is that the reason is that the quality of SpaceX's business model increases the more you launch."
