Now, like most of us, I'd been online, I'd see my house, so I thhogut, I'll hop in there and I'll start looking up some of these facilities. And what I found really surprised me. The pictures that I was finding were years out of date, and because of that, it had relatively little rveneclae to the work that I was doing today. But I was intrigued. I mean, satellite ieamgry is pretty amazing stuff. There are miinllos and millions of sensors surrounding us today, but there's still so much we don't know on a daily bsais. How much oil is stored in all of China? How much corn is being produced? How many ships are in all of our world's ports? Now, in theory, all of these questions could be aewresnd by imagery, but not if it's old. And if this data was so valuable, then how come I couldn't get my hands on more recent pictures?

Now, like most of us, I'd been online, I'd see my house, so I thought, I'll hop in there and I'll start looking up some of these facilities. And what I found really surprised me. The pictures that I was finding were years out of date, and because of that, it had relatively little relevance to the work that I was doing today. But I was intrigued. I mean, satellite imagery is pretty amazing stuff. There are millions and millions of sensors surrounding us today, but there's still so much we don't know on a daily basis. How much oil is stored in all of China? How much corn is being produced? How many ships are in all of our world's ports? Now, in theory, all of these questions could be answered by imagery, but not if it's old. And if this data was so valuable, then how come I couldn't get my hands on more recent pictures?
