Kirk Borne – Analytics Visionary, Space Scientist, and Chronic Learner – Humans of Analytics

It was October 2001, one month after the tragic terrorist attacks on 9-11-2001. I was sitting in my NASA office when the phone rang. The voice on the other end of the call said, "We would like you to brief the President tomorrow on data mining." I remember clearly my response: "Do you mean THE President?" Yes, they did mean the President of the United States.
