    It's only a half-step from what we already have, you have to think about it technically to realize how difficult it is. We already have live broadcasts, CCTVs, aerial imagery and photo satellites. Astral projection is almost the same thing :) I suspect even very educated people might make this class of mistake if they don't take the time to think about how something works.

    The fact that all of these comments are disagreeing with you is concerning. Are most people this confused in their day-to-day lives? If I ever discovered I had a misunderstanding of that magnitude, I would be shocked and appalled.
