Aaron RobinsonAlexa Everywhere Vice President guarantee which – which:

We are proud to work with Lockheed Martin to push the boundaries of voice technology and artificial intelligence, and we hope Alexa’s role in the mission will help inspire future scientists, astronauts, and engineers who will define what lies ahead in the age of space exploration.
