Hey that's pretty awesome have you thought about applications of this tech in agriculture? Perhaps keeping an eye out on crops and trying to predict yields or crop health?
- brobinson 11y agoMy first thought was futures trading. I've heard of people using their own private satellites to do something similar. There was a company in SF building and launching small, shoebox-sized satellites inexpensively which could be used for it.

It's interesting stuff and I would look into using the tech for agriculture surveys, constant monitoring and automatic advisory compilation (where to water things etc.)
