I mean, once you have the ground work for stuff like this it's not too difficult. I think the most challenging part has always been that initial first step, once you've got that it's just a matter of improving it over time as people build on what's already there.

[Getting to space was hard, according to Earth history, but once they broke through that initial barrier it was a nonstop journey to improving space travel until they made it to the Kerberos mission. A decade ago that mission would have been impossible and now look where they were.]

Thanks. I've always liked knowing how stuff works. This is just the basics though, I'm more of a machine guy, but my friend Pidge is great with understanding communications based technology. Programs and data are more her specialty that mine.

[Of course, he might be selling himself a bit short. He might not be a hacker by any means, but it wasn't like he didn't understand what Pidge was saying about what she was doing half the time.]
