In this May the Fourth edition of Meet the Author, JMP’s Anne Milley interviews Richard Wiseman, author of Moonshot: What Landing on the Moon Teaches Us About Collaboration, Creativity, and the Mind-set for Success. The project was “launched” (pun intended), when Wiseman asked the simple question “Has anyone written about the psychology around the Apollo moon landings?” of a friend, who was also a fanatical Apollo enthusiast. The response was ‘no,’ and a book was born. Blending history, psychology, and keen observation for insights into the science of success and learning from failure, Moonshot shares lessons from what is arguably the greatest achievement in human history.

Star Wars and the Art of Data Science SAS Principal Solutions Architect Mary Osborne loves Star Wars… and unstructured data. While the former is almost always cool and fun, the latter sometimes comes with some problems – specifically jargon, error, changes in language over time, and even geographic differences that can impact the meaning of words. Using three Star Wars movie scripts (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), Mary outlines the data science processes necessary to ingest, transform, analyze, and visualize unstructured data. In addition to gaining insight into working with unstructured data, you’ll learn fun Star Wars facts along the way, including what characters had the most lines, what locations are highlighted the most, what terms appear with the highest frequency and Mary’s take on the popular question: Who shot first? Han or Greedo?

Perseverance: How to Design a Mars Rover You’re undoubtedly familiar with the Mars Land Rover used to explore the surface of the fourth planet from the sun. In this May the Fourth segment of JMP On Air, CalTech’s Kristo Kriechbaum and Iona Brockie review the many ways that their team has used JMP to help develop the sampling subsystem of the Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance. From DOE to simple visualizations, JMP has helped to find the signals within the noise inherent to working with non-engineering materials.

Planning Your Disney Star Wars Experience Even if The Force is strong in you, waiting in lines to enjoy Disney’s Star Wars rides can make anyone want to turn to the Dark Side. Never fear, in this featured presentation from JMP On Air’s May the Fourth edition, Patrick Biltgen, Director of Analytics at Perspecta, analyzes wait time data for each ride and shows you how to spend less time standing in line and more time enjoying the fun. From quickly downloading tens of thousands of rows of wait time from the web, to analyzing it, to ultimately visualizing the optimal recommended times, Patrick uses JMP to demonstrate each step along the way.

How to Find an Actual Tatooine Did you know that, on average, every one of the more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy has at least one planet? Every day, astronomers all over the world are looking for new alien worlds. They have found thousands, including at least one planet that exists in space that orbits around one star? Yes, that means two sunsets every night – a literal Tatooine. In this segment, JJ Hermes, Professor of Astronomy at Boston University, shows us how astronomers discover new planets in data collected by the NASA Kepler mission and how you can get your hands on the data, so you can start searching for new worlds on your own.
