Proposed satellite network to publicly broadcast entire surface of Earth in real time

a reply to: Lagomorphe

The Old Testament was full of death and destruction. Apparently God was bipolar. But the New Testament , with Jesus,was about peace and love man. I’ll bet Jesus drove a Volkswagen van. Smoke billowing out of the windows and a couple of tye dye groupies passed out in the back. Holding up traffic the whole way to Galilee. I don’t get why people talk smack about Jesus. He embodies all the traits most people pretend to strive for. Also, the Bible talks about the four corners of the earth, but I’ve never read in it that the earth is flat.

Now, lets go one step further and directly link our new sky god to geostationary weaponized drones positioned approx 100m above the ground in every population centre on the planet.

"who can make war against the beast?"

Sounds awesome.

What’s wrong with California? Some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

California is proof of a round planet, if we actually had a flat earth CA would most defiantly be on the bottom.

Hmmm funny you say that. In a three dimensional space there is no top nor bottom. You nominate California to be on the bottom but in reality it’s still on top.

California is a versatile lover. It swings both ways depending on the drugs ingested

Hey - just like Australia innit???

This is completely feasible to accomplish if somewhat Orwellian in the extreme.

Certainly, make monitoring our movement in real-time a distinct opportunity, but then again anonymity passed away a long time ago if truth be told.

I agree with you.

Now add in Zuckerberg and the picture starts to come into focus.

Yes, you read that correctly. A startup company is seeking to build a satellite network capable of monitoring and broadcasting the entire Earth... In real-time and high-definition. This means that anyone could see what's happening anywhere on Earth with a delay of less than a second.

US-based startup EarthNow, which plans to deploy a constellation of hi-tech satellites to monitor the entire surface of Earth and stream HD footage 24/7, has secured backing from many notable investors, like Bill Gates and Airbus.

Each satellite is equipped with an unprecedented amount of onboard processing power, including more CPU cores than all other commercial satellites combined,”

Is this even real? This would be absolutely amazing if it came to fruition, but I highly doubt it will, for several reasons. Since this is ATS and all - imagine all the UFOs we could see coming and going.

Wonder how how much they'll charge to access the data from that and what kind of license it'll be under? Something tells me it won't be free for all to use as they wish.

Free is a sure way to have everyone connected to the Matrix. Throw in some neat games and in some Face time and you can track any "Person Of Interest".

true, but it doesn't matter who sits on your committee when it comes to 'national security'. if there was a true hd 24/7 view of earth the militaries of the world wouldn't like it.

Hmm im talking more about for developers that would want to access whatever API they provide, how much it'll cost schools or agencies to get a license to use the data, will the data be under a similar license as Google maps or will it be like open streetmap's licenses. Will only certain people have access to data for certain areas of the world? What kind of data will they actually collect with this? Will all the data be under the same license or will they license topography and each layer separately. There's a lot more that goes into mapping than just taking pictures or video of the earth. How much information will it actually provide?

A live feed of the earth is cool and all for the public to look at but the value of the data it collects is far higher. That's the important part of this whole thing.

That's what governments, scientists, companies and anyone that actually wants to do anything with this will be interested in and that's where they'll make their money back. Data doesn't come cheap.

But I live in a 2 dimensional universe so they are still at the bottom.

Copying South Park.

Guess I'll have to start wearing pants when I go outside.

I'm not gonna hold my breath. I was already waiting for EarthCast years ago and it came out to be pay to view.

i am pretty sure NASA is going to love that
