as you work on perfecting that, your biggest rivals, lockheed martin and boeing and their alliance are working on chasing you to do the exact same thing. how do you as the disrupter avoid being disrupted? >> well, we have years of experience on the recoverability and reusability piece so though it's really great to see others follow in our footsteps, i think it's going to be hard to catch us. >> how big of a game-changer is the idea of a recoverable rocket? how close are we to achieving that? >> i think we're going to recover the boost stage this year and hopefully refly it this year as well. it's absolutely critical in order to move life to other planets. you can't, you can imagine what would air travel be like, if you tossed the aircraft after flying from los angeles to new york. it would be very expensive. it would be incredibly prohibitive. so it's critical for us to facilitate human access to space, to have recoverability. >> it seems that the other big thing on the horizon is getting access to military contracts. would you expect that to happen in june? >> it's really the next hu
