Sounds fun until it's quietly applied at a nation state level to e.g. cars or foot traffic or similar. Once it's proven to "stop crime on the high seas" it would be easier to get further funding. AFAIUI the images wouldn't be able to be delivered fast enough for anything approaching realtime, but I haven't looked into their specs to know if they even have cameras either (plus isn't transmission speed a differentiating factor for them?). To make it worse, a tinfoil hat would just make you easier to spot on camera haha...
- jcun4128 6y agoI was doubtful they would have cameras just because of payload/purpose "circuitry" but it also seems like a small thing to slap on there/extra sensor to get data. What a cool platform though, I had a fantasy like ssh'ing into a satellite and it's flying through the sky.

- jcun4128 6y agoYeah I saw that, it's neat. I've never really been into hacking. I'm more interested in the interfacing aspect like what frequency, antenna design, what do you do just blast it... are there "ports"? Etc... but yeah the concept of a space-born computer is neat. Thanks for the links, will check them out
