Tom Soderstorm: I think we all share the goal of getting the data accessible to people who care. Part of the future is that everybody will have access to NASA's data on their mobile devices at any time. Not only that, but they'll be able to participate and do citizen science. That'd be one. From a program perspective, we look at data at the entire life cycle, we learn on the ground, we push that processing up to the spacecraft where it can do its own triage, and so big data is kind of filtering down. Another one is that we have a data scientist in every organization. It becomes a discipline just like we have technologists in each organization. Another one is that we get new insight from data we already have. Could we, for instance, create a new virtual mission and just look at the data that we already have, and launch fewer spacecraft because that's difficult. Finally, I think it's a data driven culture; smarter decisions, faster, and where the data becomes the system of engagement itself. So a system of [00:00:59.12] and a system of engagement almost merges and that's -- By getting insight to all of the data at once. JIm Flyzik: Yeah.
