Dad wisely told me, \u201cAndy where do you think all that money ended up, on the surface of the moon?\u201d I said I didn\u2019t know and he replied, \u201cthe money fell back to Earth and landed all around us\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Even SpaceX can find its origins from the hundreds of job shops that sprouted from the San Fernando Valley orange groves some four decades after the first rockets were constructed.

Most recently with COVID our government leaned into MRNA funding and now we are seeing green shoots with cancer treatments and new fields of study in disease and longevity treatments.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unlike the past when our government provided the life-blood for innovation, today our capital market system with the confidence of millions of participants is now footing the bill. With SpaceX new trillion-dollar market capitalization and Anthropic and OpenAI coming soon it stands to reason that billion-dollar budgets will follow, benefiting multitudes of companies.
