technically, downlink-while-imaging is not necessarily reliant on sat-to-sat networks, or did I miss something?
I was just guessing at what he would write in part 2: if you can disseminate the data rapidly to a network of adjacent satellites, eventually one of those will be in view of the ground station, and if those satellites also have the high-throughput laser capability, then you can really downlink faster.
This guy is really drinking the space militarization Kool aid that the SDA is churning out. It's sad to see another young generation getting sucked into the military industrial complex
Can we maybe focus on the technology and not ideology?
I figure the market for "low" resolution imagery will be destroyed when Starlink decides to add something like a fixed wide angle 100 megapixel cameras to every satellite. There are a lot of options for what to do from there, but getting continuous global imagery would suddenly be possible.

Engineers play one of the most pivotal roles in war and loss of human life, and many don't even realize it. Something that needs to be reflected on more.

My name is Joe Morrison, and I’m ready to be roasted on here again. Please feel free to ask me anything or challenge any of what I’ve written!

It's not ideology to see that applying certain inventions in particular domains will bring more negative consequences than in the others. Even if former are more lucrative than later. It's ideology to follow hyper-capitalistic approach and pretend that only profit matters.

I don't know about Digital Globe's capabilities, but they are also in this business as are others.
Would 100 megapixels make a big difference in availability?
