Let me tell you - when I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble. You don't think about breaking records anymore, you don't think about gaining scientific data - the only thing that you want is to come back alive.

Education helps you to be a well-rounded person, period. It teaches you how to take in information and data, process it, and use it for life building. Education was key in my family. You were going to college.

Data doesn't explain itself; it needs interpretation to understand what it means.

Interpreting Data

Data can include words, pictures, or sounds, not just numbers and statistics.

Not Always Numeric

Remember 'data' is the plural of 'datum', although 'data' is commonly used as both singular and plural.

Plural Form

In computing, data must be exact so computers can process it correctly.

Data Specificity

Data is often converted into a digital format to be used by computers.

Data Transformation

In academic contexts, data supports or disproves theories.

Critical Evidence

Ensure that the data comes from a credible source to maintain research integrity.

Credible Sources

Statistical data often requires context to be meaningful.

Beyond Numbers

Data in charts and graphs can sometimes convey information more effectively.

Graphical Representation

 There is this incredible synergy between the cameras that we have in orbit and the pictures that we can take of the surface, and the things that we can do on the surface to ground truth that data. This data, we can resolve things that are about 20 meters across. The camera has a resolution of six meters per pixel. And we can see that channel now

 and other crops. So one of the questions we've been asking is, how much of the world is used to grow food, and where is it exactly, and how can we change that into the future, and what does it mean?

 Sensory data is initially transcribed and temporarily recorded in the neurons as short-term memory. From there, it travels to the hippocampus, which strengthens and enhances the neurons in that cortical area. Thanks to the phenomenon of neuroplasticity,
