that have figured out how to launch large numbers of satellites.

The Rundown

It's basically us and SpaceX.

The Rundown

And, you know, Google chose us for this project because they know we're one of the couple of companies that can do it.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

It's simply cheaper.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

It's going to be cheaper within 10 years.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

And that's what Sundar, the CEO of Google, said recently.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

I stand by the same sort of timeline.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

This is not happening next year, but it is happening within a decade.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

I mean, we'll do demos and things, but it would take a while.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

But it would actually be cheaper, certainly within 10 years.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

Yeah, one word, speed.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

It's all about speeding up the time to answer.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

So by putting the computers in space on the satellites that can do the AI processing, processing at the edge, so to say, as soon as we take the picture, we can process it and get down the answers straight away using lower bandwidth but constant connected RF signals.

Whereas normally we wait until we're over a ground station and dump the data.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

So this takes time.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

So this gets it from hours to minutes.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

And that makes a big difference.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

Think of a disaster response.

The Rundown
How Space Is Unlocking New AI Markets (ft. Planet Labs CEO)

So in the LA Palisades fires, for example, we provided data really quickly afterwards.

It was a couple of hours later.
