Mr. Heintz: Over ten years so usually that's a permanent position and... <br /> Would you say that her...I mean...since her position precedes the <br /> whole issue of the TMT...that if TMT were not built...it wouldn't <br /> have any effect on her continuing work for Subaru and the <br /> foundation. <br /> Mr. Roth: That's correct. It would not have any effect on them. <br /> Mr. Heintz: Thank you. Second with regard to your son's employment. He <br /> works for JPL Nasa on the Mars Rover. <br /> Mr. Roth: Correct. <br /> Mr. Heintz: And he worked there since 2015, is that right? <br /> Mr. Roth: No. He just got that job. He graduated in May and I believe he <br /> started in June. <br /> Mr. Heintz: Oh. So he's not a senior executive at JPL Nasa? <br /> Mr. Roth: No. He just got published. <br /> Mr. Heintz: Okay. But is he an astronomer? <br /> Mr. Roth: No. He's a computer scientist. He works on the camera systems <br /> for...right now...the Curiosity Rover. So they program the <br /> pictures to be taken on Mars and they also bring those pictures <br /> down because it's...! guess there's like 20 minutes between what's <br /> going on. So they play on the day before. They take the pictures <br /> down and link them to the team to decide where the Rovers gonna <br /> go and everything like that. <br /> Mr. Heintz: Okay. So he is not really involved in astronomy and/or telescope <br /> work in any direct way? <br /> Mr. Roth: No. <br /> Mr. Heintz: Thank you. The next question I have is...in your remarks, you <br /> indicate that you are a board member on NexTech? <br /> Mr. Roth: Correct. <br /> Mr. Heintz: And can you tell us a little bit about what NexTech is. I <br /> understand it does stuff with kids with STEM. <br /> 16 <br />
