Do you see yourself more as a data company or are you a satellite company?
How many satellites do you need to take a picture of every piece of land on Earth every day?
When I think about what your company could do and be, there's this real dichotomy, right?
You could imagine all of these wonderful things that would be good for the world and helpful, whether it's fighting forest fires or helping in droughts.
But then there's also sort of this specter of surveillance, which I know makes a lot of people nervous.
Who are your customers and how do you think about that problem?
Your company made the headlines recently when you made the decision to restrict access to some satellite data in areas affected by the war with Iran.
Correct.
Was that an easy decision or a hard decision?
How do you get your satellites into orbit?
So you've been working with Google's Project Suncatcher team to build and test prototypes of orbital data centers.
Do you think over the next 50 years, orbital data centers are a long shot, a sure thing, somewhere in between?
So you're part of this big space economy right now.
If these orbital data centers do turn out to be viable, where will they fit into the space economy?
Will they be a small part?
Will they dominate the space economy?
So I can't say I've heard many more theories.
That would surprise me more if they were true.
And this is your brain on pollution.
It's one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.
