 I'm Eric Tolstrom. I was born in North Carolina and just moved to New Zealand last month by way of California. I've done some space stuff. You'll know I'm a Kiwi if I can stop there. So I worked on space station design a lot and most recently in the last eight years helping space startups in the Silicon Valley. So I'm going to go a little backwards. I'm going to tell you what we're doing and then talk about the opportunities and why. So we're creating this global space ecosystem starting in New Zealand. And starting in New Zealand we're going to serve support space entrepreneurs and with OneTool being an open source platform and we're working on everything we can to support and help each other help ourselves with the training and technical services and funding. We look at this in three different projects. One is an onsite programs that provide education and training and networking opportunities including students and the public. And we're working on a networking platform that connects, allows us to help each other and connects entrepreneurs with the services that they need and also connects them to the global space community both for services and also as a market for what they're going to propose to do. And then we have another activity with a funding platform with all this magic blockchain stuff. And Rich is going to tell us about that next. So part of this is why space? Well, space has a hundred different applications. It's important for dealing with climate and environment monitoring both in New Zealand around the world, food security, agriculture, response to disasters. It's, and I'll give you one example later about the, an impact initiative that was just announced two weeks ago. So what's happened now, Emily was telling you about the exponential technologies that have really transformed things and opened up things, possibilities in the space world. One is just to make tiny little satellites very powerful. One friend of ours, Will Marshall, actually took his phone and launched it into space just to see what would happen. And it actually, he got it to work. He was able to take images and all the components in it like accelerometer and GPS unit and things like that were working fine. And so the part of this is just the realization of the tools that are available in your pocket as, you know, use it for something new and something more powerful. Another example that's coming along is hyperspectral imaging where an ordinary camera takes images in three colors. Hyperspectral can take an image in a hundred colors and can actually measure the chemistry or detect the pollution that's in the water, things like that. And this, I worked on this sensor back in 2005 for, but the current sensor is, fits on a chip. And what you can do with hyperspectral sensor, the example is you can identify what kind of plant you're looking at. So with one, with passes of the satellites you can map where the invasive species are. Will, after launching his phone into space, he formed a company to make small satellites. Can you see the satellite in this picture? It's over there on the table. So he, his company has made 200, more than 200 of these things and launched him into space. So he now has the largest constellation of Earth observing spacecraft in the world. And so there's a dozen that fly over New Zealand every day. And another friend, Peter, he started playing with making satellites run by Arduino microprocessors and he made, he also has a commitment to education. So he makes space sensors. I got space sensors in my pocket, as one does. So, that my students put, had this, these little sensor chip, float over Ireland at 30 kilometers a couple months ago to take some data. And Peter puts these sensors on the satellite every time so that, so that students can actually connect and get real space data after they've played with it in their classroom. And Peter's company, Spire, makes these small satellites that track ships around the world. And so you have, he tracks cargo ships all over the place and maybe that way I can find out where my stuff is in the middle of the Pacific. But there's, so how can it, how can you actually solve global problems with these things? There's, one is, there's terrible things going on out there, illegal fishing. It not only debits states, you know, environment with overfishing. But it's a, it's a scary part is that this is one of the last remaining places where slavery is occurring in the world. Some of these people are slave ships that never go to port. I only unload their fish like this. And they've, some people have been trapped on these ships for five years in slavery. So two years ago, some reporters tracked one host ship and identified and turned over to the authorities and freed 2,000 slaves. That was tracking one ship. And so, but you need to do it on a large scale. So two weeks ago, we had this announcement of a combination of, of Peter's satellites. You can see when the ship turns off its tracking signal. Will satellites sees the ship's meeting, turns over to a bigger satellite to get a better image and informs authorities. And so now you can, this is a map of where those rendezvous were happening. Notice that they're outside of the circles of the territorial waters. And so, instead of one ship, just this month, they gave a, submitted a list of hundreds of ships to investigate. So maybe it can make a real difference. And going to the, we're getting ready for a couple of weeks for the next launch rocket lab. And it's really nice that Peter and Will's satellites are going to be the first satellites on there to be, and so it's, I think it's really awesome that the first satellites to go to orbit from New Zealand will play a role in solving a global problem. So this is our vision of the, of the future of activity, lots of activity and opportunities across New Zealand. And I won't go through all this. I'll just leave it at that.
