Huh. That's not the result I expected, but it's understandable. Who's gonna go out and tell people that you don't really have to change your air filter diligently any more?

On modern electronically controlled engines, the computers will adjust for the available air flow.
However, it is still absolutely, positively, crucial to keep out as much dirt as possible.

Good find, Bruce.

Their viewer looks bit wonky, but, hey, free is free.

Hint: Go to the button that says '24 stacks' (top of page)...browsing seems to be easier to me that way.

When I saw all those issues of "Wood", I heard the "You've got mail." voice in my head, "You've got wood."

TEC DIVISION OF OPTICAL EQUIPMENT (TEC-DOE) says they have a telescope that sees anti-matter. You can get it on Amazon for a grand.

You're going to have to be more careful about running around naked. Google has sold it's in-house satellite network to Planet, who plans to make a fifty-trillion-pixel resolution composite image of the Earth’s whole surface updated every damned day.

math doesn't add up for that.... that makes about 254,000 pixels per square mile. so, about 500 pixels to the linear mile. about one pixel per ten feet.

I'm the pasty white pixel in the upper left corner of the map.

This constellation will have two components. A standard Planet satellite, which it calls a “dove,” is cheaply made. It is essentially an extra-large Cubesat, a widely used standard for building small spacecraft. It captures pixels that are three meters to a side. Each of the seven Terra Bella satellites, on the other hand, is about the size of a dorm-room fridge. A Terra Bella satellite detects pixels that are 90 centimeters to a side under good conditions.
There are example pics at the link.
