Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses here this evening at committee.
Mr. Gharagozli, I'd like to start with you, if I may. You talked about there being more investment dollars available in the U.S. for venture capitalists. I'm a little curious, though, about the process, because we are looking at the procurement for the whole department.
As a space company, do you have to come up with an idea for a shiny new object you have to sell to somebody? Do you get your direction from the government, in its budget or vision, on what's needed? Does the department come to you and say, “This is what we would like you to come up with. Can you develop it?”
