once they can start sending up bigger things into orbit, i have to imagine. >> private companies are going to want to hire it like they do. the falcon 9 rocket now to take smaller satellites to space. you can see this thing hauling up, you know, big chunks of what could be bigger space station's up there. bigger space station's bigger satellites. time you get the idea eventually. >> more people so can go to another planet. mars is eventually become probably in my lifetime, which you know that we find be looking forward to that pretty mind blowing, ok, >> lastly ball and on this light note this morning, new data out says what more than a 3rd of americans say they'd rather pay to raise a pat then to raise a child. >> and the numbers are really for babies going to cost about $2504,000 a year comes out to about $48,000 over the first 18 it's higher than that. $45,000. it's $2500 for 10 years of a dog. you get the

idea. human babies easily, $70,000 a year. so after 3 or 4 a dog's a better >> in your dog's not going have to go to but what's fasting this is young people. they're starting to choose pets. 38 1% like you said over they say kids are expensive. dogs are easy or 80% of the people who are between 18 and 40 say dogs are easier. and i agree with that. i've got a high need dog stuff to go on a two-week vacation. but younger people are also saying 60% of them are choosing where to live from east on dog. 90% say they're choosing their careeri based on their dog. really on 80% are choosing romance. if you don't like her dog, she's not going to like it is it that keep or it support the price in their lifetime.
