Nice thinking… the science is great, though I doubt governments or corporations will give up their greed/interests/profits to make it happen. What we need is a Global Authority for the Environment, that has some teeth and not just a rubber stamp!
thats great but we dont seam to be admitting the problem that we are living a greedy way of life and a greedy way of life always ends in destruction!!!!!and i dont think the space agencys would recieve the funding they do get without this greedy way of life dicotomy!!!!er stop the greed!! stop the greedy!!!!! ta!! i enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
This is an excellent initiative, but are people going to LISTEN and STOP deforestation and the general destruction of the planet? Right now we do know that it's bad but the GREED is not stopping. Will satellites be able to stop the greed?
Or we just make use of birth control. But still an interesting space program.
Great!
Thanks ESA and European Commission for creating this programme and sharing the data from it in an open way.
Great job guys! Nice to see someone actually taking steps.
It's one thing to target the problem; it's another to do anything about it.
A proper and stable dissemination technology is what this great initiative deserves
nice video!
I find it fun to sometimes toy with the data from these satellites and plan to monitor the building of a nearby wind-park with it 😀
