I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

Final observations, although the room was full it seems like people needed this for some classes so there is some idea that people were here for an assignment or something. Overall great event. https://t.co/poFQ0j8Uc3

I am excited to be on Centennial Campus today listening to Mark Adams. He is the vice president of technology and engineering at Peraton. Topic of discussion is the future of space and technology for it.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

Peraton says their mission is to "offer national security solutions and technologies that keep people safe" and their mission is to "promote freedom around the world".

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

Final question is about where Peraton puts their resources. One is Cyber missions and security. Large practice in cloud, work with Dept of Homeland Security.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

Fourth question is about challenges of space trash and some solutions. People are just starting to look into this issue. First problem is to find all these objects. Use ground radar to find them. Importance of reporting positions but this is not uniform across all countries.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

3rd question is about AI and future. Adams said that there really may not be a limit. There are lots of autonomous systems all around us. They will continue to be developed in the future and can be used in space flight and exploration.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

Second question about relationships between NASA and Peraton. Peraton supports communications on missions, maintain network of communcations, also have command systems on some flights.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

First question about Peraton Labs, do work to research technology development, work with Army and Air Force Labs to develop tech.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

As someone who does not know much about this topic but is interested in space a bit I thought he did a good job of explaining things.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

He left time for questions. He hopes "we go home and look at space...what are we doing to understand space...do our research." Audience seems engaged still and topics overall were interesting.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

Space 2.0 Overview "design your own future," there are lots of opportunities in space. Climate Science, Cosmology, Space Exploration, Space Protection and more.

The Artemis Mission - included different sciences and systems to test all these technologies. This includes the goal to go back to the moon the way we did in the 1960s. However, the goal is "to go for an extended period of time." The goal is to have humans on the moon.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

Space Life, difficulties that could go along with living in space. These include, how engineering wise this would be done, psychological impacts, where we could live.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

In 2020 the US formed the Space force as part of the military, this is now something that needs to be protected and the government felt that we need to consider this when it comes to protecting our country.

What is going on in space today, broke into 3 categories, space real estate, space protection, space life.
Delay of return of cosmonauts recently due to module being hit by an object in space.
There are lots of things flying around in space now.

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

1994 Clementine Program - goal to find a cheaper space system. They wanted to be able to have better images and networking in space.

The results of the survey were very few said "not important" and the rest was about split between "somewhat important" and "very important."

[Jackson Cowen @JacksonCowen]

About halfway through the speech, people are still engaged. He is a good speaker. Some people are taking notes. There is also a recording and live stream. He took a survey by a raise of hands to see who thinks space exploration is important to future.

Peraton builds ground systems that help the Department of Defense, to relocate satellite systems along with mobile systems to operate their satellite. One company they are working with is NOAA which works in weather and finds a lot of our climate data.
