aren't looking at the 76 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:03,360 climate is that we aren't looking at the 77 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,429 climate is that we aren't looking at the mainstream applications 78 00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:05,439 mainstream applications 79 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,070 mainstream applications of the this global activity which tend 80 00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:08,080 of the this global activity which tend 81 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,389 of the this global activity which tend to be entertainment and video games 82 00:02:10,389 --> 00:02:10,399 to be entertainment and video games 83 00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:11,750 to be entertainment and video games we're more looking to how to use this 84 00:02:11,750 --> 00:02:11,760 we're more looking to how to use this 85 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,070 we're more looking to how to use this for scientific visualization 86 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:14,080 for scientific visualization 87 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,990 for scientific

scientists have long been interested in 129 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:03,589 scientists have long been interested in the area because it is so similar to 130 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:03,599 the area because it is so similar to 131 00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:04,790 the area because it is so similar to mars 132 00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:04,800 mars 133 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,270 mars its frozen lakes

00:03:26,879 dr carol stoker leads this effort 151 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:29,910 dr carol stoker leads this effort with telepresence we think that that we 152 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:29,920 with telepresence we think that that we 153 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,229 with telepresence we think that that we can really expand the range of access to 154 00:03:32,229 --> 00:03:32,239 can really expand the range of access to 155 00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:34,229 can really expand the range of access to the surface of mars from a scientific 156 00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:34,239 the surface of mars from a scientific 157 00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:36,550 the surface of mars from a scientific perspective not just in terms of 158 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:36,560 perspective not just in terms of 159 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,430 perspective not just in terms of operating you know relatively uh simple 160 00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:39,440 operating you know relatively uh simple 161 00:03:39,440 -->
