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.
Do you expect the satellite to see the whole earth?
You know it's night for like half of it, yea?

I'm not agreeing with their dumb point, but just pointing out: this satellite works on radar. I'm genuinely concerned how many people seem to be commenting without reading the article.

... I think I agree with your sentiment? honestly it's hard to tell because everything you just said is delivered in this ultra-cringe meme language. I guess this is so the average middle schooler can understand what you're saying? or is this how robots think humans communicate, so when they want to pretend they're an "average human internet user", they talk in this ridiculous idiotic meme codec? idk, whatever, it's peak cringe, but ok cool comment
Which part of "chonky boi" or "mach yeet" do you need an average middle schooler to translate for you? Contextually, it's very clear what is being said for anyone that can read and speaks English.
You think you know what was said, then insulted it saying it was dumbed down for the average middle schooler. What does that say about you?

These things really fuck with nude sunbathing.

What are you talking about? There's only one side. /s

Hey, if they want to put themselves through looking at me in the nude, they can inflict that pain on themselves. I'd be more worried about them tracking everything else someone does day to day, and who could get their hands on that data.

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.
Some of these words are meaningless and detract from what you are trying to say. People should not have to be subjected to this nonsense.

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

*yeah, not yea or nay. It isn't a vote.

Au contraire, quite eloquent

Which words do you mean? Because I understand them all. They convey information, the fundamental point of language, hence they don't detract. Just because you can't make sense of them doesn't mean they're nonsense.
If you're talking about "Mach Yeet", yeet refers to forceful movement. This specific combination then means really fucking fast. The exact speed doesn't matter. The frivolity of the language underscores their excitement or might just be their idiolect.
Either way, so long as it's nothing hateful or harmful (beyond hurting your linguistic sensibilities), trying to police other people's vocabulary is narrow-minded and needlessly stuck-up.
Why don't you yeet that shit (throw it far away) and come join us in watching the fascinating evolution of language?
-
Yeah it's a shame that Musk is so inextricably linked with the brand. I'm quite sure SpaceX and Tesla are full of top tier talent and engineering wizards... but have a direct link to a toxic cockwomble that bankrolls them. Shame.
He likely brought a ton of capital with him.

This is really cool.
Anyone know where can I publically find satellite data which is regularly updated, for hobby projects.
-
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"?
Like others have pointed out, It was indeed very much tongue-in-cheek.

I recall a Judas Priest song about this.

“Mach yeet” is now added to my list of sentences I never knew I wanted to read
As an engineer I would like to second this motion to get "Mach Yeet" adopted as an IEC standard technical term.

This is absolutely fucked. Bring down the all seeing eye in the sky satelite

Some of us are blessed with
They need to launch a much more expensive satellite for that. -

Thank you for your public service announcement!
