Just what we needed, more surveillance /s

Did you read the part where this is a radar satellite designed for monitoring the climate? That is, did you read anything besides the headline before you decided: "Yeah, I think I'm able to make informed commentary about this"?

Did you miss the /s?

Maybe you need a high res satellite.

I don't know why you're assuming their '/s' is alluding to sarcasm around this being surveillance versus sarcasm around needing more surveillance. "We need more surveillance (we actually don't)" seems to be indicated here, not "This is surveillance (it actually isn't)".

Especially when Reddit types are notoriously, chronically unable to read articles before they go spouting uninformed bullshit in the comments.

Speaking as a layman, I just think it's fuckin' awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.

Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin' land where they started seven or eight minutes later.

Science is fuckin mint, man.

Don't such satellites have a major flaw, that they revolve? Considering that earth is spherical, those satellites can only monitor some half of the earth each moment, given their sensors have such high FOV.

I like your funny words, magic man

Have you had a chance to play Kerbal Space Program yet? If not, I think you'd really enjoy it.

Don't quote me on this, but I've heard SpaceX itself is pretty good at keeping Musk away from the actually important things. Something about having a team dedicated to keeping him distracted.

“Mach yeet” is now added to my list of sentences I never knew I wanted to read
