Tom Soderstorm: All our programs are using big data and the big thing for us -- I'm going to give a specific example, which is unusual. You wouldn't have thought of it. It's entering a life cycle. What we're trying to do is to every stage learn something, and then we move that processing up towards the spacecraft eventually. Even the spacecraft will have too much data and can't get it back to Earth, even with a [Inaudible 00:00:22.03]. We're probing at each one and one of the most interesting ones, I thought, was [Inaudible 00:00:26.19] Laboratory... Curiosities up there running around and discovering that the components of life were present at Mars. How can you innovate on a mission that's already up there? We took -- They get lots of telemetry down and the data is usually stow piped. We said, how can we take this new technology start-up and big data, and do something with it? What we did is we -- How do you analyze your stocks on the stock market? You go to finance.google.com and you compare stocks. We said, could we do the same thing with data streams? So, we did. Now they go in and use the same technology and compare different types of data streams visually on the web browser, and are discovering things that we never saw before. JIm Flyzik: Wow. Neat. Tom Soderstorm: Yeah, and it's combining now with other types of data... the dark data that we can get insights in seconds that we couldn't get before. JIm Flyzik: Wow. Terrific.
