00:00:02,336 --> 00:00:04,266
>> I mean, if I think
about production in terms

2
00:00:04,266 --> 00:00:06,786
of making stuff, you know,
we spend a lot of time,

3
00:00:06,786 --> 00:00:08,836
the astronauts spend a lot of
time trying to stir samples.

4
00:00:09,556 --> 00:00:10,976
Every time you try
to stir a sample,

5
00:00:11,426 --> 00:00:12,196
you get something different.

6
00:00:12,676 --> 00:00:13,906
Something that's good,
something that's bad.

7
00:00:14,726 --> 00:00:17,596
We, at Proctor, we try to
make products, we stir,

8
00:00:17,666 --> 00:00:18,846
we store differently
all the time.

9
00:00:19,256 --> 00:00:21,736
The insight that come from
all those differences help us

10
00:00:21,806 --> 00:00:22,736
to find a better process.

11
00:00:23,466 --> 00:00:24,426
So the samples that
we're putting

12
00:00:24,426 --> 00:00:26,496
on station are not
actual products, per say,

13
00:00:26,496 --> 00:00:29,846
but what they do is they
inspire us to think about

14
00:00:29,846 --> 00:00:31,546
and create products on earth.

15
00:00:32,006 --> 00:00:34,286
I guess the simplest way to
say it is it's inspired us

16
00:00:34,726 --> 00:00:37,496
to create materials
in a particular space,

17
00:00:38,086 --> 00:00:40,016
that we actually have
three patents in right now

18
00:00:40,606 --> 00:00:42,976
into the U.S. Patent
Trade Office that -

19
00:00:43,016 --> 00:00:44,886
that we hope will give
us intellectual property

20
00:00:44,886 --> 00:00:45,316
in this area.
