I'd like to think that this is a very good (potentially) way of looking out for our neighbours welfare. howver, cynical old sod that I am, I think the term 'looking out for' should be replaced with 'checking up on'. Oh well.............. Hmmmmm………..

Hah! What rot. I hope that someone in Africa can actually download the data from that satellite. They didn't even get a decent picture of the last big meteor that came their way. Climate change? Hah!

We are actually providing information that impacts the decision making on the ground. Africa is certainly affected by climate change. Floods and wildfires are intensifying every year. But we are certainly not immune from similar disasters. I wish we could do more to provide support during emergencies (and using spy satellites is also fine with me) http://blog.geobliki.com/2008/11/24/workflow-technology-to-benefit-africa http://blog.geobliki.com/2008/11/24/la-freeway-fire This is far from a dubious space project.

It's not the first time people attached everything they could to the new buzz word. But 'spy satellites' need no such explanation or cover. They get launched without fanfare, excuses or explanations. Period. 'Climate change' (whether you believe in it or not) is politically correct, these days. It's not the first time people attached everything they could to the new buzz word.

Even after all the climate change alarmists get proven wrong again and again. Dimes to donuts this is nothing more than a very expensive spy satellite - which is fine with me!
