First off, we downloaded images from satellites to here. No one's ever done that before. We did 100 meter resolution images. Nobody's ever done that before. We've got the leads and the sea ice, we're gonna take it back where ever we can in the tent there and try to look at it and see what the situation looks like north of here. We also got people at the National Naval Ice Center that did that just for us that had DMSP military satellites that nobody but the military uses. We also got people from Canada, environment Canada. (Bill speaks.) And also we've been FTPing images out from here, and while we only have, tomorrow we get off the plane, we have about, we're in the middle of our webcast already, you have to leave here at the crack of dawn in order to even get there before our window, excuse me, is over with. And we've gotta get out and do this fast because this is gonna be the first chance we get. The next chance, the next day if everything goes right. But we have to, we're up there early because we want two shots at it. We could leave right after this was done if we wanted. The biggest part of our job would be finished because we're trying to demonstrate that this works where no other satellite can even see it. The other thing is that we've also talked to the weatherman at channel 4 meteorology, NBC-TV. He was here downloading images from us on here while we were here and Dave Jones out of Washington, DC. He got some of the images from us and is putting them on the TV here and then, and then we also chatted with kids. There was kids, there was somebody, where was that globe school from? Was there some globe chat on there? 6:25 many voices speaking M 6:33 The guy at the globe project off us down there at Washington, DC is setting up a conference call. He gave us the time, the place, the meet me number. So we can call in from here. Now I never would have been able to get that information any other way and so I've been able to get the kind of information using satellite imagery, the satellite imagery plus the interpretation from the weatherman plus the, the announcement of a meet me conference call and the date, time place, phone numbers, and all that jazz. E-mails back and forth. EA 7:06 You just said you were gonna go some place and try and download. Where are you gonna go and do that? M 7:10 We'll go back to the tent. It's in the tent. It's already on the computer. I just got to look at it and study it tonight. ...random discussion¿ M 7:52 Let me show you this other thing here. This is some more of the story. It's quite a story here, you haven't heard it. This is the Alaska SAR facility, actually in Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska, can see satellites as they pass over the Pole. Once they get pa...
