There's a proving ground for where you put that tech.
Correct.
So in 2018, actually, Christina Cook, the astronaut who's currently on Artemis II, installed our tech on the ISS, and they've been working to make sure this technology works on the International Space Station, so a human in the loop.
Next stop is to put what we call our quantum gravity radiometer into a satellite, which we're working with NASA to do.
And so we're taking it from research in space to an application in space.
And what that quantum gravity gradiometer will do as it circles the Earth's orbit from a satellite is sense changes in gravity on the Earth's surface with extreme precision.
And you can infer all sorts of interesting things by the way gravity changes.
So you can infer the depletion of aquifers underneath the Earth's surface.
You can see what kind of things are being built underneath the Earth's surface.
So all sorts of very interesting use cases.
Hey, Matt, go ahead and hold that up again because Bloomberg Tech executive producer Jackie Lopez wants to see it.
I think it's really important.
Let's go back to basics.
This is not about putting the quantum computer into space.
It's about putting the sensor into space.
I think go back to basics for our audience and explain that for the data inputs.
Absolutely.
So there are two broad technologies that quantum can create.
One is called a quantum sensor, and the other is called a quantum computer.
Quantum computers are not yet useful.
