Ask any deep space navigator like Jill Seubert what makes steering a spacecraft difficult, and they'll tell you it's all about the timing; a split-second can decide a mission's success or failure. So what do you do when a spacecraft is bad at telling time? You get it a clock — an atomic clock, to be precise. Let Seubert whisk you away with the revolutionary potential of a future where you could receive stellar, GPS-like directions — no matter where you are in the universe.

@capealio Awww! Check it out guys, i found one of those people who live under a rock!
We need in atomic sized atoms.
how
Ted back on track with a woman who has earned the right to be on stage through her intelligence, insight and experience not an agenda. Wonderful!
@skouf x Sorry you’re right I shouldn’t have assumed, but generally when people say “agenda” they are referring to a political agenda
This is why I love Morgan Freemans famous comment on black history month with regards to getting rid of racism “stop talking about it.”. This original comment is irrelevant because this is Jill Seubert, deep space navigator………that’s cool enough for me and it should be cool enough for you.
I like how whenever people say “agenda” they really mean “things I don’t agree with.”
@IDontKnow Your are correct! I don’t agree with nonfactual and partisan presentations.
@Pashb33 And yet here you are, prolonging the conversation … (can’t say I disagree with you though)
it do every thing not easy for me so bad show more content to Samsung bad terms be which
Yeah if we survive long enough
Finally a good and interesting talk. I subscribed to TED a long time ago to see how people tackle serious issues through science, innovation and technology but lately the subject of talks shifted to activism more than practical issues.
NietzscheanMan , nvm I looked at ur profile and “ancap” is a large playlist so you aren’t worth taken seriously even if you’re being genuine, absolutely hilarious ideology
@nick cerasi my political views never hurt anybody, what about your death cult? In all seriousness, I was being genuine. The amount of hatred and (self)loathing that underpins a socialist mindset is not healthy and will lead you to nowhere in your life. The sooner you take responsibility for your life and have others take responsibility for theirs, the better you will be. Don’t waste your short amount of time on being a frustrated loser who tells himself he’s saving the world while fooling nobody but himself and the other dregs of society about the reality and pitifulness of the underlying condition. It is not befitting of a grown man. It will reflect on you and it will reflect on the quality of people you attract around you. In the end you’ll end up alone, with a purple haired landwhale or some other form of broken crazy woman if you yourself bring that mindset to the table. Don’t do that to yourself, seriously. All the best, truly.
NietzscheanMan , yikes you’ve got a lot of issues to deal with, Ancaps really seem to project their self loathing, someone must’ve tread on you pretty hard bud
@nick cerasi the only one you are fooling is yourself. Before saving the world, save yourself first. There is a lot of interesting literature on this and the same scenario plays out over and over again, it is stereotypical beyond belief. 10 years ago I would have mocked you over your beliefs and would have seen them as a declaration of war to the good people of this world and a sacrilege to the millions that were killed in the name of the cult which trapped you, which in essence it comes down to. Try to read The Gulag Archipeligo. At this stage however I understand what lies at the core of the socialist mindset and can only pity the waste of time and potential that you are bringing down on yourself. “Plus est en vous” as they used to say back in the day. Don’t repeat the mistakes of your weak father who apparently either drove you to this sjw mindset or did not prevent you from landing there. Otherwise, give my regards to the landwhale and don’t say that some random guy didn’t tell you so 20 years down the line 🙂 Human to human though I genuinely hope you’ll cut yourself free from the dead weight that is dragging you down to marginality. Be a man.
NietzscheanMan , long winded and vacuous of any meaning, I hope you’re old bc seeing this close minded defeatist attitude is pathetic to see in someone who’s young. Try not to get left behind in outdated thought while we move further into progressive visionaries
Inspiring. As a student of horology, collector of luxury watches, a lover of physics , and an engineer, I love love this talk.
More maps and navigation to explore those unknown phenomena that are waiting to be discovered would be exciting
So she flies spaceships. That’s gotta be the coolest job ever.
For this Job you need exceptionally good physical and mathematical knowledge
@Max Schmick you calling him dumb
Or this is the one that pilots a spaceship while being inside the spaceship that has the coolest obe
@Max Schmick and?
That was good
Great content delivered without a single pause, hiccup or fluff. Massive kudos.
“it’s like an echo on a mountain” except this mountain is mooving at 50 mph
More like 30,000+mph
Thai was an awesome talk. Thank TED
Very interesting content; excellent presentation. One of the few TED Talks that I didn’t delete after reading the first few words in the subject lines these last couple of years. Excellent!
