Awesome. Imagine if we had a HD camera on every gps satellite and were capable of creating a full 3D texture of the earth in real time.

- bostonpete 13y agoWell, keep in mind that GPS satellites are about 50 times further from the surface of the Earth than the ISS.
- seanalltogether 13y agoOh sure, I wouldn't expect anything on the level of a google earth. But imagine something like a 16384x8192 live texture of planet, updated every minute or so.
