Y'all say BS to what I am about to say. I'm telling ya its very true.
A guy I know tricked the building security by saying I was a vendor and we had a scheduled meeting. In his office he showed me satellite imaging. 'Pick a city', he says to me. [zooms in] 'Pick a location within the city', he says. [zooms in] 'Pick a building', 'pick a side of that building', 'pick a window in that building' [zooms all the way in] We could see people walking around inside the room through the window.
I cried BS. He proved it over and again. I was finally convinced when I said, Okay, I will pick something you cannot possibly rig. I had him zoom in on a friend's car and show what was on the shelf behind the back seat. Then I called my friend to ask where is your car right now? What orientation is it parked and other trivial details. Son of a gun....
This was in the 1980s. It was at the same time that satellite based thermal imaging could tell if, say an aircraft had been in a revetment and how long ago did it depart that location. All by remote sensing and thermal signatures. About that same time I was studying satellite-based ground penetrating radar. It is how, as example, they found a rich gold vein 12 meters below ground surface. A field team was sent onsite to confirm. They did.
How do you think they map the ocean floor? Go look at the maps, see the topography, how do they know? Via satellite. Precise measuring of the sea surface which exactly matches every contour of the ocean floor.
Some guys have all the luck. And I don't even have to say which number, cause you all know!
ReplyDelete#8 Never have I been that lucky. Me, she would a weight 300 lb and eaten watermelons.
ReplyDelete#5 P. audax. Cool spiders, and afraid of nothing. They'll even jump a recluse and wolf spider. Not to mention a camera lens.

DeleteThe specific epithet 'audax' says it all, but what is the genus name?

Can they see long steel objects buried three feet below ground, under the grass?
