Youtube daily report Mar 27 2018

Home is a place where I feel - at home!

That can be at work, and it can be in Germany and Syria.

When I'm together with my friends and notice that I feel happy and at ease,

that I can really be myself - that's what home means to me.

For me personally, home is also a place where I can play an active part in things.

A place where I can pursue projects with others, a place where I participate.

The terme »home« works on two different levels for me.

On the one hand, home is obviously the place where my family lives and where I work.

Here in Hamburg.

The other level is where I personally feel at home, at one with myself.

If I manage that, then my home can equally well be a hotel room or a train compartment.

The choir makes a contribution to my own sense of home, e.g. by giving me the chance to sing in Arabic,

a language which I rarely use in my everyday life.

The choir provides a setting where I can express myself in Arabic again.

And that in turn connects with many feelings that are conveyed in the individual pieces we perform.

In this programme I particularly enjoy singing the Turkish pieces on account of the mood they convey,

and also on account of the rhythms, which are sometimes a little strange.

That makes them a challenge to perform: challenging, and exciting.

You need to be interested in the music of other cultures, in other languages

and of course in the people who speak them.

I think there are as many as 15 different nations represented in our choir now,

and that's quite something.

Then of course there's the fact that we're not just some choir in a small

cultural centre or a church:

we have one of the world's leading concert halls behind us,

and that gives this project a special kudos.

I would be happy if we can convey how much mutual respect there is among the members of the choir,

how much fun we have working together and discovering new things.

The choir as a whole has several messages to impart. I personally try to help people understand

that Syria doesn't only stand for war and crisis, but also has a lot of culture to offer.

As a choir we want to show that we can cooperate with one another as a community,

regardless of where we originally come from.

Girls' Easter Basket Ideas - Duration: 5:20.

Hey guys welcome back to my channel, I hope you're doing awesome

My name is Hailey if you were new here I would love you if that red subscribe button down below and joined our positive pack

I had a poll over on Instagram and Twitter about what video you guys wanted to see next and you guys

Highly requested to see what I got my kids for Easter, so that's what I'm gonna

Do I pretty much just hit up the target dollar spot some things were at the dollar store some things were at Walmart?

But this is everything

I will have a link to all my past Easter basket videos down in my description section

So you can get some more ideas as usual their Easter baskets are practically identical, maybe just a different color

Or a different style

I don't know, but they're relatively identical so this is what I'm getting my kids for Easter

So let's jump right in I have a lot of stuff surrounding me, so we'll just start over yonder. I

Always get my kids Easter dresses

And I don't go full-out where it's like big and poufy and you'll probably only wear it once

I try to get some decently nice dress, but one they can wear all summer so

This little blue dress is what I got for khloe. It has some lace on the bottom and on the sides

she's got a blue one and then I

Got Kaelyn this bright orange because it's so cute

So there those are their Easter dresses

the next thing I

Think I got these at the Target dollar section and that is just some sticker activity books for Easter

They can do that this that morning that afternoon little arts and crafts

Yeah, math coloring tracing mazes

Lots of fun in these little books, so they will get one of those. for a tradition

They will always get a holo milk chocolate bunny the next thing I actually found while I was in

Boise I think at the Boise Target and that is these really cute multi ink ball pens ten different colors

So the girls are gonna Have a heyday with those and they were only a dollar

But they only had two or I would have got myself one

But those are so cute the next thing also from the target dollar section is these little grow figures. They had like

Unicorns and alligators and dinosaurs, but I wanted Easter related, so I just got two little Easter eggs

And they're gonna just grow and it's something that can do that. I don't know this next thing

I'm really excited about giving them is because it was one of my favorite things to get when I was a little bit older like

Khloe is and kaelyn is at that age

Maturity that she can understand why I'm giving this to her and she can be grown enough to take care of it

And that is just some really cute simple Easter cross necklaces

I think they're gonna be so excited at least I know Khloe will because she absolutely loves jewelry

But I thought these were so cute, and they're only three dollars at Walmart next up is a clearance find

I found probably like two months ago

And I've been trying not to lose these ever since and that's just some sunglasses

I get new ones relatively around Easter time

I think I don't remember it but usually I try to get them sunglasses

so

Khloe will have shimmer and shine and Kaelyn of course will have Elena. next thing I got was these little punch ball balloons I

Think my kids will have fun with them

It'll give them something to do besides beating up on each other they can beat up on a balloon

I don't know

I was a kid and I love these so I'm pretty sure they will - next up is a little bit more

chocolate I found these shopkin Wonder balls

milk chocolate with candy inside and includes stickers

So we're gonna try those out because they love those like big chocolate bear things with toys on the inside

but those are like four or five dollars at Walmart, and I'm not about that life very often so I got these I

Think at the dollar store for a dollar

Or the target dollar section because I've seen them there too so one of the places they were a dollar

Next up is something Khloe has been asking for probably since Christmas

And that is a jump rope so both the girls are getting a jump rope

It's not a holiday without slime with my children. I swear for the last like for holidays birthdays and Christmas and Thanksgiving and Halloween

Slime has been given from someone next up

I found some sidewalk chalk at the target dollar section and for only $1

next Thing I also got from the target dollar section because target is my best friend and that are these fingerlings

Finger flings it came in a two pack

But I took them out of the package because I don't want them each to be

Armed with two flings to be flipped at me, but you just go like so on your finger

And then you can like fling it the last thing that they are getting is some

double bubble eggs egg shaped bubble gum Khloe is on a bubblegum kick and

To eat gum when she's not in school, and she's not in dance so

That's like one of her treats she likes to earn so she saw these at Target

Forever Ago, and she's like oh, that would be really fun to get gum but that is everything going in my kids Easter basket

I'm having a predicament, and I would love to get your comments down in the comment section

I'll also have a poll in the eye on the sky up here

What does the Easter Bunny do in your house does he just bring eggs does he bring the eggs and the baskets does he

not bring anything

What does the Easter Bunny do and what does the Easter Bunny look like in your house, please

Please leave a comment down below because I am back and forth between a couple things

And I'm just not sure which way to go so I'd love to know what you guys do for Easter

Thank you guys so much for watching. I will see you guys in my next video, but until then stay positive bye guys

Φτιάχνουμε Miso Soup από το Vegan Asian Cuisine Seminar ! - Duration: 4:12.

Welcome to my channel and a new video!

As you' ve seen from the video's title we are making miso soup.

I've told you that I would post miso soup on my facebook page.

but instead, I decided to make a video for the recipe

Since 2 Sundays ago

I've attended vegan asian cuisine seminar

by green chef Nikos Gaitanos, where I saw

his version of the vegan soup

And as you will ask me how was the seminar

I learned a lot of cooking secrets and recipes

Of couse tested them! Also met new people

We discussed about veganism.

Met people that were vegan and also people who are transitioning to become vegans.

So I will show you a bit of the seminar and then,

off to kitchen to make the recipe!

Time for the recipe, that I have to tell you it's very easy

and I will write it also, on the description box.

In a large pot put 2 zucchinis coarsely chopped

2 finely chopped carrots

1 potato finely chopped

One onion sliced in four pieces

and 1 Tbsp. grated ginger.

Add 1 Litre of water and let veggies boil.

Once they are ready, melt everything with a hand blender.

Then add 90grams of miso paste

that is about 3 to 4 Tbsp. and stir well.

Add 150gram white vegan cheese,sliced in small cubes

4 Tbsp. sesame oil

2 nori grated

and the juice of half lime.Boil for another 5 minutes.

Serve with chopped fresh onion and extra grated nori.

So this was the recipe for the vegan miso soup.

Waiting your comments to tell me if you have tried it

and if you have other versions to share.

If you liked this video give it a thumbs up

and if you haven't subscribe yet, do it now

as on my next video I will have Giveaway!

Lot's of kisses!

Space: The Next Trillion Dollar Industry - Duration: 27:12.

This video was made possible by Away.

Get $20 off your Away suitcase by going to awaytravel.com/wendover and using the code

"wendover" at checkout.

And quickly, once you've finished this video there are two others to watch, both where

I appear on camera for the first time—a behind the scenes video on my brand new personal

channel and my appearance on StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Both are linked in the description.

"Suppose we're in a cave right now.

This is a cave, and there's maybe 10 of us, we have a mini family tribe and I say

"you know, I want to go out and see what on the other side of that mountain.

We can see it from here," and you say, "no, no we have cave problems we have to fix first.

Fix all the cave problems first, then you can go out on the mountain."

And that's what it sounds like to me when I hear people say, when we talk about exposing

space, we have problems on earth, let's fix those before we go into space, and here's

Earth, a speck of dirt orbiting an ordinary star and there's this vastness of the Universe

that is waiting for us.

It beckons."

The commercial space industry is heating up.

Fifty years ago outer space was reserved for the most powerful of nations, the most dominant

governments, but today there's a democratization of space.

Commercial industry is inching us closer to the cosmos, and in the process, there's

a growing interdependence between what's happening hundreds of miles up in space and

down below on earth.

The commercial space industry, using multi-million dollar satellites and rockets, is increasingly

playing a part in our everyday lives.

You may think of this industry as a new phenomenon, you may have only started hearing about profit-seeking

space enterprise in the past few years, but in reality, this has been going on for decades.

"Our founder, Walter Scott, founded the company in his garage in Palo Alto 25 years

ago."

This is Dan Jablonsky.

He's President of one of the commercial space companies that you might not have heard

of—DigitalGlobe.

They might not be as flashy as SpaceX or as exciting as Virgin Galactic, but they've

been flying satellites since before Elon Musk even graduated college.

In fact, they were the very first American company to be granted a license to take high-resolution

pictures from space and that is essentially what they do—they take pictures from space,

but it's a lot more complicated than it sounds.

To take those images from space, you need satellites, and DigitalGlobe has five of them.

"So the five satellites we have on orbit are GeoEye 1, WorldView 1, WorldView 2, WorldView

3, and you're noticing a trend here, WorldView 4.

The first of those was launched in 2007.

The most recent was launched in 2016 and they have an expected life of over ten years each."

And these are really good satellites.

WorldView 4, for example, DigitalGlobe's newest satellite, has a pixel size of 12 inches.

That means that this satellite, orbiting 383 miles above earth, can clearly see a single

sheet of paper placed in a parking lot.

Horizontally, that's like if a camera in Toronto took a picture that could identify

the individual eyes of Statue of Liberty in New York.

It is insanely high resolution.

"With a 30 cm pixel you can actually pick up road markings.

You can see the lines on the roads, whether they're straight or dashed lines, you can

see whether there are turn arrows there, whether there's a stop word on the road markings,

you can even pick up some of the traffic signs and traffic light sizes."

The potential uses of such high quality imagery are endless, but how do the satellites even

work?

"Well first off its good to know that our satellites are in a low earth orbit which

means that they actually, they're not like a geo satellite which sits up in a fixed orbit

and sits over one place in the planet."

Some satellites are designed to stay directly over one position for their whole service

lives.

Their orbits are significantly higher above earth so the time it takes them to complete

an orbit is exactly the same as the time it takes the earth to make a full rotation so,

relative to earth, the satellite doesn't move at all.

This is incredibly useful for certain uses like communications.

When a communications company launches a satellite to broadcast TV or radio or internet, they

want that satellite to stay over their particular service area.

DirecTV, for example, the American satellite TV company, want their satellites to stay

over the US because that's their service area.

If they weren't able to put their satellites into geosynchronous orbit, they would have

to launch enough satellites to cover the entire world even if they were only broadcasting

to the US.

So, DirecTV want their satellites to stay over one area because they're broadcasting

to one area, but DigitalGlobe, on the other hand, want their satellites to move because

they're imaging the entire world.

"Each of our satellites right now are in sun synchronous orbits.

So what that means is that the orbital plane that the satellite is flying around in stays

in the same orientation relative to the sun all the time."

Simplified, that means that any given satellite passes over any given location on earth at

the exact same time every day.

WorldView 3, for example, always orbits above the points on earth where it's 10:30 am.

When it passes over Denver, it's 10:30 in Denver, when it passes over Paris, it's

10:30 in Paris, and when it passes over Tokyo, it's 10:30 in Tokyo.

How this works is that essentially, with each pass over the light side of earth, the orbit

advances relative to the earth at the same rate as the sunlight advances.

This orbit type is crucial because a lot of what satellite imaging is about is detecting

change from day to day, month to month, or year to year and an image taken at 10:30 am

is going to look very different than one taken at 6:00 pm.

This orbit type allows the satellite to pass over the entirety of earth, once per day at

the same time so the light conditions look the same.

The satellites do, of course, need to be told what to do and that all comes down to four

people in one room.

"So this is our mission operations control center.

This is where we fly the five satellites on orbit and really inside this room is what

we consider our time-dominant, real-time activities from choosing, making the final choices of

what images we're going to collect in the next several minutes to the next several hours."

These four individuals are controlling billions of dollars worth of satellites.

This whole company, the thousands of employees and hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue

all exists to organize and fund what these four individuals are doing—sitting and piloting

the satellites above in space.

The mission operations center is, of course, staffed 24/7 since, while it's nighttime

in the US, it's daytime in Asia and Australia.

The satellite vehicle operators' main task is to load plans onto the satellites of which

images to take when, to monitor that the satellites are operating correctly, and and to assure

that the satellites won't collide with other satellites or space junk.

These central screens at the front show the current location of each of the five satellites,

while the one to the left displays other information such as the total number of times each satellite

has orbited around the earth and how much time they have until the satellite loses signal.

You see, in order for satellites to function they need to be able to communicate with the

ground and that's done with ground stations.

These antennae communicate to satellites using what are essentially super-high powered wifi

signals.

The ground stations DigitalGlobe use are able to receive about a gigabyte of information

every second from the satellites.

"Each of those antennas around the world see each satellite several times a day so

as we go through the day we accumulate about seven terabytes of raw imagery through that

gigabit connection."

Satellites can only communicate with ground stations while they have a line-of-sight with

the antenna so, due to the curvature of the earth, in the view of any given ground station

the satellite will eventually dip below the horizon.

Therefore, each ground station only has a limited operating range.

The exact locations of ground stations are, understandably, kept secret but if there was

one in Germany, for example, it would communicate with the DigitalGlobe satellites exclusively

while they passed over Europe.

The fact that these satellites have to, by nature, pass over the entire world is actually,

however, quite useful.

Not only does this let DigitalGlobe map the entire world, but they also use this extra

capacity for humanitarian efforts.

"It's actually easier for us on the humanitarian global development side because we have much

more capacity over these areas.

There's a lot more demand for our satellites over developed countries, for instance, right,

so people are typically for commercial applications much more interested in the US or Europe or

some of these more developed areas versus sub-saharan Africa where we just generally

have much more ability to task the constellation and to collect those imagery so it's actually

an opportunity for us to support those use-cases much more than others."

For instance, DigitalGlobe partnered with the Gates foundation to map every single building

structure in rural Zambia so aid workers now know things like how many bed nets, vaccines,

or food to bring to communities that were previously unmapped.

There are few companies the size of commercial space companies that rely on so few assets.

What makes DigitalGlobe, for example, run are those five satellites and, to get these

to space, to the place where they make money, they had to put them on rockets which tend

to, from time to time, blow up.

"It's always a bit of a nail biter as you come up to a launch.

We put an enormous capital investment into the satellites, the launch vehicle, and it

all comes down to a one hour event lifting off from the ground and going on into orbit

and that can be a little bit of a nerve-racking period but certainly very exciting at the

same time."

An average of one in twenty rocket launches fail and then on top of that, some satellites

fail once they reach orbit which makes the space business risky.

Companies like DigitalGlobe will therefore purchase enormously expensive insurance policies

on their satellites in case the launch or the satellite itself fails.

If they didn't, one bad launch could spell the end for the company.

Of course, some launch providers are much more reliable than others.

United Launch Alliance, the launch provider that DigitalGlobe used for their current five

satellites, has not had a launch failure in its 11 year history.

Insurance rates for ULA would be relatively low while insurance rates for a newer launch

provider, such as Orbital ATK or Blue Origin would be comparatively high.

Nonetheless, the cost of newer launch providers with insurance included is now often less

than the older, more reliable launch companies.

But how does DigitalGlobe fund their exploits, what keeps those satellites flying, how do

they make their money?

"Our largest customer is the US government and we have been very proud to be their mission

partner for over a decade and a half coming up on two decades now."

It used to be that the commercial satellite industry was essentially focused on one major

customer—governments.

In the past the US government has been the single largest customer of the few commercial

space companies there were thanks to its enormous defense spending, but today as commercial

customers contract commercial space companies, the business is spreading globally.

Over the past decade, the customer base has become more international and more diversified.

"Our other customers are international customers who may be US allies or may be technology

companies across the world.

We go deep in the communications infrastructure, online mapping, energy industries, mining

industries, forestry applications…"

There's really a huge variety of customers, but the most obvious ones are those mapping

companies."If you've ever used Google Maps you're using our imagery, if you've

ever used Apple Maps you're using our imagery, if you ever look and do crowdsourcing projects

in OpenStreetMap you're using our imagery as well," but perhaps the single most promising

use of earth imagery is with autonomous vehicles.

Having good, solid, current satellite imagery is an integral part of how autonomous vehicles

work.

These vehicles can't just rely on their internal sensors to understand their surroundings—they

need a view from above.

"As we think about autonomous vehicles it's not ok to update the image once a quarter,

once a year, even once a week.

It needs to be, they really need imagery that's coming in much much faster than that to deal

with changes in traffic conditions, changes in roads, crashes, etc."

Uber, which is developing autonomous cars, is already a customer of DigitalGlobe for

navigation purposes and as more and more companies move into the autonomous vehicle race, the

competition between earth observation companies for their business is likely to heat up.

There are plenty of other emerging uses as well which, as an ensemble, are growing the

demand for earth imagery day by day.

It is a tremendously fast growing industry.

But satellite imagery by itself really isn't worth much.

You need something more.

"I would say that our customers are demanding more actionable information faster than ever."

Translation: customers want data.

They want the information embedded in the images.

For that, there's another company—Radiant Solutions.

"So today customers, the big challenge is around, where it used to be more of, 'hey

we just need to get an answer now,' now it's more of 'how do we deal with all

this data' and 'how do we deal with the more complex questions,' because they are

getting more complex and they're getting even harder to answer nowadays by virtue of

being inundated with data."

Radiant Solutions would describe themselves as a geospatial analytics company—they take

satellite imagery and translate it into information.

"We're able to take in vast amount of data and make sense of it to produce insight."

They answer big questions.

A logging company might ask a question like, "what's the density of trees in this particular

region of Canada," before purchasing new land and Radiant would be able to look at

hundreds or thousands or millions of square miles of imagery to tell them how many trees

there are.

Now, with so much imagery and such a big world, you can't just do this all by hand, at least

economically.

For that reason, there's been a huge shift in the geospatial analytics business towards

using artificial intelligence.

"We hear more and more now that data is kind of like the new oil.

Well that's sort of true but the data has to be reliable, it has to be high confidence

in the data."

So the AI has to be good.

To train a machine to find a red car, for example, you need to show it thousands or

millions of examples of what a red car looks like, but "It's very different for a machine

to look for a red car in an urban environment as it is to find a red car in snow.

So not only are you training those models on how to find the object, you have to train

it on where to find it regionally."

It is hugely complicated, but that's why these guys are in business—to answer complicated

questions.

Some data, however, isn't in the visual spectrum.

Some data is hidden, but luckily, there's a special satellite just for that.

"In the old days it was just please get me good, solid image pixels to use, and I'll

go figure out how to use them.

Today, particularly in commercial space, it's all about information."

That's Paul Kennedy, Vice President of Ground Systems at MDA.

They've been in business since 1969.

Their most visible project was on developing the Canadarm for the Space Shuttles and International

Space Station.

As a long-time player in the industry, they serve a variety of functions from developing

space robotics to building satellite ground stations, but one of their most valuable assets

is that special satellite—Radarsat-2.

While most earth observation satellites image using the visual spectrum, what we can see

with our own eyes, Radarsat-2 uses radar.

"Radar is an active pulse so the satellite actually sends a beam of energy to the ground

and reads back what it gets back from the earth and that gives us a couple of interesting

advantages in SAR."

For one, radar can see through clouds and darkness.

It doesn't matter what the light and weather conditions are, it's all the same for Radarsat-2.

Now, MDA is a Canadian company, and it's no coincidence that a Canadian company operates

this satellite.

Just like the US government is a major customer of DigitalGlobe, the Canadian government is

a major customer of MDA, and here's the thing about Canada—the weather is terrible

and it's always dark, quite literally in Northern Canada where the sun stays down for

the entire winter.

It's no coincidence that the company that works so closely with the Canadian government

operates the satellite that can see through clouds and night.

Without Radarsat-2, the Canadian government would be blind—they would have no way of

monitoring huge swaths of their territory in the high arctic for months out of the year.

With new launch providers emerging such as Blue Origin and RocketLab and SpaceX, the

cost of launching material into space is plummeting.

Now, this is useful to these companies, at least in some ways.

With lower launch costs, DigitalGlobe and MDA can launch more satellites which means

more data for Radiant solutions, but that also makes it easier for competitors to launch

satellites.

The earth imagery business is growing, but so is the competition.

The best known earth imagery start-up, Planet, is launching a constellation of small satellites.

While DigitalGlobe's satellites are the size of a bus, Planet's smallest are the

size of a toaster.

With the smaller size, development and launch costs are lower.

While in the past starting a space imagery company required hundreds of millions or billions

of dollars in funding, the emergence of small-sats means that it's enormously easier to break

into the satellite imagery business nowadays.

But there is a key difference between these two companies.

DigitalGlobe's satellites capture imagery with a pixel size of 12 inches while Planet's

primary satellite constellation captures imagery with a pixel size of 10-15 feet at a much

lower cost.

There are certain uses for high-resolution imagery and there are certain other uses for

low-cost imagery so in some ways, these two companies aren't even direct competitors.

Nonetheless, the space industry is changing, growing, and becoming more competitive so

the established companies needs to adapt.

United Launch Alliance knows that, Airbus knows that, Arianespace knows that, and DigitalGlobe,

MDA, and Radiant know that too, so they made a change.

These three companies are now one.

Along with a forth company, a spacecraft manufacturing company called SSL that will be covered in

a future video, these are the entities that make up the newest powerhouse in the space

technology business.

This merger wasn't necessarily in response to heavy competition, but rather, at least

from an outsiders perspective, a preemptive strike to establish themselves as a major

international player before the commercial space industry truly lifts off.

"Increasingly, the more traditional aerospace and defense companies that have been supplying

technology in space have been able to provide the performance but the cost has been extremely

high."

Maxar is now a fully vertically integrated company.

In the earth imagery space, for example, they'll do everything from building satellites, to

operating them, to extracting data from imagery.

By performing all the steps in the process internally, Maxar lowers its costs and this

also puts them in the same league as Airbus as one of the very few end-to-end integrated

space companies.

The commercial space industry as a whole is doing a phenomenal job of making access to

orbital space commonplace.

"The routine steps of space activities are slowly being ceded to private enterprise that

can do it faster, better, cheaper."

We're now at a place where launching a satellite to low earth orbit is unexceptional.

That's exactly what we want, easy access to space, and, for near space, that exists

right now.

Getting beyond earth's orbit, though, outside our cosmic neighborhood, into deep space,

that's still tough.

The problem is that private enterprise, by it's very nature, needs to make money.

Companies and their leaders are beholden to their investors to make money.

If they're not, then they're not a company.

Companies can and do make money with deep space but only through developing and building

technology for NASA and other government agencies.

There is zero commercial demand for deep space technology today.

Going to new planets, to new solar systems, exploring space—that really doesn't make

money.

"Many people who think about commercial space, I think they're over predicting what

their role will be.

They're imagining commercial space leading a space frontier, but to lead a space frontier

is expensive, and it's not an obvious return on the investment.

You might do it as a vanity project, there are enough billionaires that could all pool

their money, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, they could do a vanity project and send

humans to Mars, let's say.

But it's not a business model and it would get a lot of attention but, is that something

you can sustain?

No, it would be a one-off.

When people imagine a future of space and industry they're imagining a sustained business

case."

Of course, you could've said the same about the space-race sixty years ago—that was

exploration however, in the long term, it was an investment that paid off because space

now makes money.

"Space today is an integral part of what we know and what we can do on the planet.

Communications, imagery, climate science, defense and intelligence, and security applications—all

of those are seamlessly enabled by space technologies without most of us going about our daily lives

even thinking about it."

The difference between commercial enterprise and governments is time.

Commercial enterprises need to think about investments that pay off within the lifetime

of their shareholders.

"So you're always thinking about, what is the return on investment you're making,

how long will it take you to achieve the returns on your investment, and what's the probability

that the R&D that you're putting in will be successful."

"If you take cues from history, the government does what hasn't been done before and private

enterprise does what's routine."

While companies look at investments in terms of years, governments can look at investments

in terms of decades or centuries because governments transcend generations.

The innovation that will occur by bringing humans to Mars and beyond will absolutely

make money in the very long term, but right now, it would take an enormous amount of money

that few people want to risk.

You could point to Elon Musk as an exception to this rule, he more than anyone understands

the value of super long-term investments like going to Mars, but he also understands that

he's alone in that.

Individuals don't want to invest in something that won't make money until after they're

dead.

Musk has stated that he has no plans to take SpaceX public until after a successful mission

to Mars which means that, for the moment, the company is almost acting more as an organization.

He's funneling the money from launches, which make money, into exploration, which

doesn't.

"Governments need to lead the way because they have the longer time horizons that they

can think about and monetize.

When they do that, once they lead the way they have now quantified the risks, and you

know the cost, and where the friendlies are and where the hostiles—whatever are the

things that would compromise your mission they've already figured this out.

Then if they do it right, you then hand that to private industry that makes a buck off

of it then the government can tax that if they so choose."

Maxar Technologies and its four businesses, meanwhile, absolutely innovate including in

deep space technologies, but they're not going to put the pieces together to go to

Mars by themselves because that's not a good investment.

One should be careful to realize that this coming era of commercialized space does not

necessarily translate into a renaissance of space exploration.

Commercial industry is not a substitute for NASA or the ESA or any other government institution.

They are collaborators, they can make the government's job easier and cheaper, but

they cannot replace those whose jobs are to go where no human has gone before.

The next few decades and centuries can be the era of space exploration, but for that,

you need a public, you need an electorate that understands anything good, anything truly

worthwhile takes time.

There are so many thanks I have to give for help with this video, but one is to Away not

only for making this video possible through sponsorship, but also for literally carrying

my possessions over the 15,000 miles I travelled while making this video… and unfortunately

that number is not a mistake.

I've now owned my Away suitcase for almost a year, have travelled all around the world

with it, and I love it.

The suitcase is just solidly built, you can feel it, and has a built in yet removable

battery, a laundry bag, a laptop sleeve, and a compression system so you can pack more

in a smaller space.

Best of all, for how good it is, the Away suitcase is sold for an amazing price and

its at an even more amazing price if you go to awaytravel.com/wendover and use the code

"wendover" at check-out to get $20 off your Away suitcase.

They're so confident you'll love the product that all Away suitcases have a lifetime warranty

and 100 day unconditional return policy.

It's quite literally no risk and they made this enormous video possible so if you need

a suitcase for life, check out awaytravel.com/wendover and use the code "wendover" at checkout.

I also have to give a huge thanks to Maxar Technologies, especially Kristin Carringer

and Turner Brinton, for letting me film this video, as it takes an enormous amount of work

to allow cameras into such a high security environment.

Lastly, as I mentioned at the beginning, I appeared on Neil deGrasse Tyson's show StarTalk

and also launched a new personal channel where I made a behind the scenes video for that

appearance.

Both are linked in the description and on-screen now.

Thanks again for watching and I'll see you again in three weeks for another Wendover

Productions video.
