that have figured out how to launch large numbers of satellites.
It's basically us and SpaceX.
And, you know, Google chose us for this project because they know we're one of the couple of companies that can do it.
It's simply cheaper.
It's going to be cheaper within 10 years.
And that's what Sundar, the CEO of Google, said recently.
I stand by the same sort of timeline.
This is not happening next year, but it is happening within a decade.
I mean, we'll do demos and things, but it would take a while.
But it would actually be cheaper, certainly within 10 years.
Yeah, one word, speed.
It's all about speeding up the time to answer.
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.
So this takes time.
So this gets it from hours to minutes.
And that makes a big difference.
Think of a disaster response.
So in the LA Palisades fires, for example, we provided data really quickly afterwards.
It was a couple of hours later.
