Taking Space - How Big Problems Lead to Bigger Opportunities | Kelly Larson | TEDxVoyagerWay

The Carrington Event, a powerful solar storm in 1859, wrought havoc on the telegraph systems. If a similar storm happened today, it would cause widespread devastation, knock out the electrical grid, and cost trillions of dollars in damage. Entrepreneur and CEO Kelly Larson talks about how she and her team are working to create the first deep-space communication network so that we can better predict when the next solar flare will occur.
