  Almost 10 years ago at my university in Chile. My professor of Computer Networks invited a PhD Student that was working on the ALMA Observatory [0] doing some research on signal processing.
  What stayed with me from that talk was that all the data that was captured from those massive antennas was packaged in boxes, loaded in a cargo van and travel 1.600 kilometers to Santiago to be uploaded into the systems.
