You need special technology to go that fast,” the kind that propels satellites into orbit but doesn’t yet power commercial aircraft, he added., builds the user-friendly dashboard software that makes Santa easier to track, along with systems used by gamers and other participants in the emerging virtual-reality networks known as the metaverse.
