>> I mean, if I think about production in terms
of making stuff, you know, we spend a lot of time,
the astronauts spend a lot of time trying to stir samples.
Every time you try to stir a sample,
you get something different.
Something that's good, something that's bad.
We, at Proctor, we try to make products, we stir,
we store differently all the time.
The insight that come from all those differences help us
to find a better process.
So the samples that we're putting
on station are not actual products, per say,
but what they do is they inspire us to think about
and create products on earth.
I guess the simplest way to say it is it's inspired us
to create materials in a particular space,
that we actually have three patents in right now
into the U.S. Patent Trade Office that -
that we hope will give us intellectual property
in this area.
