We've also got the record for the most blown up going to space.
Were you one of those kids who loved outer space from an early age?
Yeah.
I saved up my pocket money and brought a pair of binoculars when I was eight or nine and eventually built my own telescope because I couldn't afford buying one.
I wouldn't have been so surprised if you had asked my 16-year-old self that I was building a telescope that I'd be building telescopes when I'm in my mid-40s.
Just in space looking down, I'd say, okay, well, maybe I'm looking the wrong way, but fine.
Yeah.
Basically, we monitor the planet, the whole Earth, every day to help people make more informed decisions across security, civil government, commercial applications, nonprofits.
And we do this having launched hundreds of satellites that image literally the whole Earth landmass every single day.
And with advanced AI, help people track changes, answer questions they need in more or less real time.
We think of it a bit like Google indexed the internet to make it searchable.
We're sort of planet indexing the earth to make it searchable.
No, definitely see ourselves first and foremost as a data company.
Calling Planet a satellite company would be a bit like calling Google a server company.
And they've got lots of servers, but that's not what you see and that's not the products you use, right?
The products we give to people are data services, earth imagery itself, as well as analytics on top of that.
If you're a farmer, we're going to give you intelligence about fields.
If you're an intelligence official, we'll give you information about what's over the corner.
In some theatre, if you're a civil government actor, we might be helping you to stop deforestation across large areas where you can't monitor.
We're giving actual information to help people make smarter decisions day to day.
