00:00:10.180 --> 00:00:15.570
(Jim Garvin) Now comes the reason why we build these satellites: to collect data. Data of all

3
00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:20.460
shapes and sizes, from images of the
Earth, to the state of energy in the

4
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:24.630
universe, to black holes to the
composition of Mars and other worlds.

5
00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:30.750
It's the data that inform us. It's how we
go from the idea, to the how, to the

6
00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:34.320
information that will affect what we do
in the future. These satellites and their

7
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.969
data will inform what we need to do next.
They're the ultimate tools. And finally,

8
00:00:38.969 --> 00:00:43.079
from what we learn here we'll design the
new instruments, the new sensors. Greater

9
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.420
resolutions, greater fidelity, able to see
farther. Those new information come from

10
00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:53.280
what we do today. So ultimately the idea
and the tools give us the information we

11
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.680
need to rewrite the textbooks.
