People be scared of satellite cameras recording them from thousands of km and forget that they have a camera constantly pointing at them and a microphone in their phone
With internet connection.
Exactly
@@jeffbenton6183 and being tracked via Phone/cell masts....even with their phones turned off.
Funny you point that out, every had a conversation about something that you don't talk about every day, then you start getting adds trying to sell you something related to what you just talked about?
@@frankmortensen7651Okay, but sometimes i get ads for stuff i was only thinking about and seemingly did not speak of or type anywhere.
If you are watching me with a satellite, you must have an even more boring life than I do.
It’s not about boring. It’s about information and control. They want to know what everyone is doing at all times. So sure chalk it up to “boredom” but you’re being hella ignorant.
@@Badger1776I'm pretty sure their comment was in jest, calm down
@@Badger1776 aint noone spying on civilians lol the only use there is for that is traffic of certain areas.
@@R0B690 lol you must not believe Edward Snowden then.
@@R0B690 oh they definitely are, they likely don't even need to use people to track people at all times. they can use ai and algorithms to record it all. Then at one point in the future, you say something they don't like, or are of a group/ethnicity/whatever other factor that future person or organization in control of this technology dislikes, they can just put your name, identity, or picture into a database search and they have a full history of everything you've ever done and are currently doing, and can do with it as they please.
What our leaders and billionaires are doing in broad daylight for everyone to see should be far more troubling than what can be seen from space by anyone in particular.
this takes stalking to a whole new level
Your right, and they're the "people" using this tech, to Conserve their privilege and power.
In the mid 1970’s I worked for Hughes Aircraft in Los Angeles . I had a security clearance and my job included parts issuance for the building of spy satellites . I personally have seen photographs taken by these satellites . You could read the brand on a pack of cigarettes . Yes folks this was technology in the 1970’s, almost 50 years ago. It is staggering to imagine the advanced technology in place now.
crazy
It is what it is. Live with it.
I don’t believe you. The expiration of your security clearance does not authorize you to share classified information now - it is illegal. And issuing parts probably did not give you the Need to Know to see the resulting imagery, regardless if the keel of your clearance.
its illegal to do drugs and i do it everyday. its also illegal to lie in a court and most politicians do. you should better believe that there are some good guys around not covering the government...@@vanguard9067
@@JimBoom92 does that makes it right? The vast majority of politicians don’t engage in courtroom activities, so that statement is wring from that perspective, and how do you know they lie? And then you say that good guys are NOT covering the government - isn’t that contradicting the point you are trying to make?
My concern (speaking as a Network engineer and security admin) is that there is already a profound amount of apathy towards personal privacy. People take very little, if any, precautions to protect their privacy as it is, so unfortunately I can see most people also not caring about the ever-increasing resolution of satellite photography.
Yea it's probably cheaper just hiring someone to follow me with a camera.
It's hard to avoid being tracked, most phone apps require GPS enabled for example, and 5g repeaters can detect biometric signatures even if you don'thave your phone on. Communist china has perfected social tracking and their model is the beta test for other governments
I guess people feel like their lives are too boring to draw attention to. I walk from my house to my workplace most days, and then back again, and occasionally to the shop to pick up some food. Big revelation. It's the same with the internet; google knows that I like gaming, camping and cat videos, and amazon knows that I like buying dishwasher tablets, toothpaste and shower gel. Big wow.
Most countries don't use their Spy satellites on them selves... That is often considered a waste of time, especially when you consider the logistics and time that goes into operating a satellite, they're also not designed to track small targets like individuals because of their limitations (like latency and bandwidth and observation time) its difficult regardless of the resolution (higher resolution also means higher latency and even slower return on images)
People find every reason to give the government more top-down control.
Any apperent "catastophy" = clearly they need more power.
Any problem maker or crime exists = clearly they need more power so they can punish him.
Not to mention that the goal is to punish the person after the damage has already been done. Kinda illogical way to run a system. As compared to trying to prevent crime instead of punishing after it already happened... not even primary goal of reform... primary goal of punishment.
People constantly bring up the CIA, and NSA when it comes to the privacy discussion but no one ever mentions the NRO. The stuff those guys can see and listen to is absolutely mindblowing....cutting edge to the point of being spooky.
The NRO has no intelligence exploitation mission. They simple procure, build, design, launch, and manage satelites. They are essentially a logistical agency within the Intelligence Community. Your thinking of the NGA. The CIA has very little satelitte based intelligence mission.
What is the NRO?
@@arnorobinwerkman National Reconnaissance Office. They are the ones who send up the spy sattalites and monitor video and other data. There is a lot of videos of previous missions they have conducted in the past. Some of the equipment is very advanced. From what I have read and heard from diffrent interviews I've watched they can now see and basically listen to phones and hack internet from space.
@@arnorobinwerkmanNational Reconnaisance Office, I believe.
@@marianneb.7112 thanks
It is not about privacy it is about controll, what is even more terrifying
what's more? corrupt people being in control
The most interesting pictures are the ones taken of Australia, it is quite comic to see the Ozzies waking around upside down like flies on a lightbulb!
As a US Navy veteran, I can almost guarantee that if they say "one meter", the Military has gotten it down to one millimeter.
I was on the USS Ranger, CV61, for it's last cruise, 1993. They did a speed trial. A blade on the port, outboard propeller was bent, so at top speed the whole 1,000 ft long ship shook like it was about to come apart.
They advertised that top speed was around 35 knots. It went 51 knots with the bent blade. "Hotel 61" was the last oil-fired carrier in the US fleet.
It's anchored in the ship boneyard off Washington state, unless it's already been turned into razor blades 🤣
Then they can many diagnose skin conditions and head lice! Wooppee!! Satellites in LEO are moving so fast, I don't think they can track a looting event very long. No worries for street-level camera sales yet.
I think this really comes down to intel, limited resources and what they choose to spend that time on with the spying. Pretty sure they aren't looking in on your pathetic backyard BBQ family reunion or haystack in a field romp too closely unless you are a big enough threat to them in some way or you have a big enough pervert hacker in control who can get away with it. I am FAR more concerned with the devices used in everyday life listening in and tracking and recording all your moves and the A.I. being used to access the average timing of your shits, pisses, farts, orgasms, travel habits and sleep schedules plus every word you've ever said or typed since they ramped up the tech. Be thankful they can't read your thoughts...yet.
4 TB pics being taken by US spy satellites in the late 1960s.
as a non-veteran i agree with you. in the movie "enemy of the state" which stars gene hackman, jon voight and will smith, hackman says an interesting thing. he says any technology you see used in a movie or on tv is about 10 years behind the reality of the capability of that technology. for some odd reason i tend to believe that statement!
the profit motive is the reason for these oppressive, intrusive, overpriced monstrosities. even the "scientific" ones. if rich people didn't make money from them they wouldn't be built. ever notice how NOTHING gets done in the world unless the rich get richer from it? its why pollution, wars and poverty exists. they own everything. they control everything. they make all decisions for the rest of humanity. and humanity is kept blind, apathetic and stupid enough to let them do it.
they are working in cm but definitely agree. far past what the “public knows”
They can target with perfect accuracy anyone on earth, but whenever there's alleged alien sightings, from the same or similar distance its so bad its like that the image was taken by a potato!!
That’s the most frustrating part 😂

My dad used to build spy satellites. I'm not sure which series, though. It was classified at the time, but once it was declassified, they had a lady come talk to them and provide more details about what it was they were working on. One of his coworkers asked if they could tell if a guy was on his deck reading a newspaper. See replied, "We could tell you what newspaper they're reading." I've always assumed, based on atmospheric distortion, that she didn't mean they could read the text, but could compare the formatting against known copies of that day's paper from various sources, but still quite impressive. And that was 20+ years ago. Of course, these days I'd be much more afraid of a rogue Webcam or microphone, than I would of a satellite. Everyone who installed the TikTok app, basically gave the Chinese Communist Party full access to turn on their camera and microphone remotely, anytime they want.
Wow
Don't just claim things like that if they're not true. iPhone prohibits TikTok to use the Camera and Microphone when the app is not in use. That doesn't mean that TikTok (or any other app) is not a safety threat, which in my opinion it is, but there are security measures by Apple that work very good as of now.
I wouldn't make the same claim for Android because security and Android don't go well together but I didn't make any research on that.
@@denisdeari1 tik tok is not secure.

Perhaps one of the greatest lines I've ever heard in a YT video: "There are potentially 11 different Hubbles out there. Imagine how much further we would be if they were used for science, not spying."
Not very far. Hubble is great but astronomy isn’t really holding us back.
enlighten me with how have 12 hubble taking picture of space would improve are life on earth ?
@patrickarsenault5201 let's see.
Asteroids and meteors, solar flares, space debris, monitoring the ISS, looking for and determining life on other planets, all of which will and does have an effect on us.
I agree, but that's a "they", not a "we"
Because "I" did not consent to this of my own free will, and "I" have no influence over industrial operations required to manufacture and launch a satellite, but "they" do
@@patrickarsenault5201 taking 12 hubbles instead of spy satellites as an example of spending these huge amounts of money into other than conflicts and wars, that is the point i guess
I appreciate this video, because now I plan to occasionally pause in the middle of my day, glance upwards, and raise the appropriate finger to the sky with a big smile. Whether anyone actually catches that is irrelevant. The point is that they MIGHT.

@@DoxymeisterLocal TV traffic bird.
I can remember in the 90’s of the military having a camera so sharp that you can tell the brand of a cigarettes box siting on a picnic table. Anything the government can do is told to the public 20+ years later.
Peter Jennings, some time before 2005. At the beginning of one of his nightly broadcasts. He threw out a hook to keep us watching by saying like, at exactly 6:58 and 30 sec. The Government has decided to let us see the capability of one of the latest spy satellite. Yeah, I got hooked.
The last add block played. They came back from break silently with a satellite view of the Americas. Zoomed on to North America. Zoomed to Florida. Zoomed to Orlando area. Zoomed to Disney world. Zoomed to a couple sitting on a park bench. Zoomed to the Mans left arm as he was looking at his ticking analog watch, hands at 6:58. As the second hand jumped to 30 sec. Panned back out a bit They both looked up into the sky and smiled together.
I remember the dramatic effect. Not a sound...News was over.
We could see the minutes segmented on the dial and the brand of watch. Her eyes I even think were blue. If you knew them, you would have recognized them.
Astrum , I enjoyed your presentation. But if you ever do a redo. That over 19 year old footage I'm sure is archived. I would enjoy seeing it again.
Rest in Peace Peter Jennings.
And condolences to his family.
He passed in 2005 of lung cancer.
As someone who is in their senior year of an Emergency Management and Homeland Security major, yeah this stuff is scary as hell and the government and corporations are watching / listening to you aggregating your data all day every day
yeah, the government uses those companies to stay legal, wouldn't be legal if it was a government agency doing it

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure poptart purchases are tracked ….
What worries me is not necessarily privacy in this case, but the amount of wasted resources on silly wars and unfriendliness between countries.
It was super difficult to send 1 Hubble up there, and to think that there are 11 other "Hubbles" just for spying is infuriating and depressing.
I had a related thought. When we landed on the moon, it was a military missions disguised as a scientific one. Today, if you wanted to do a scientific mission to the moon, you would likely have to disguise it as a military mission for it to be successful.
you might feel better if you consider that these "Hubbles" formed the national technical means of verification that were key to SALT denuclearization.
...do you know WHY you're able to sit safely at your desk and play "keyboard quarterback" in relative safety making silly comments like this? Because your government spent billions on this technology to prevent something horrible from happening. I worked in this industry. Let me reassure you, you are not safe, but are kept so because of the 24 hour a day work of thousands of people who develop and use this technology. Rest easy in your ignorance...
time to grow up

I knew someone that had met someone involved in spy satellites. The guy told him to put something on his doorstep. Shortly after, he got a picture of the *coin* that he put on his step. *That was over 20 years ago!*
I knew someone who knew someone one time.
Imagine one day the satellites have a pile up, like what happens on a congested freeway.
Except the debris from the crash eventually hits every other car on all the highways
Most nights, I go outside to spot satellites. It’s a great sport. Last night I saw eight. Most were Starlink, and one was Cosmos.
Not everything is about u. This is a major issue for passionate scientists, making it harder for them to do their jobs observing the cosmos from earth
@@EcoCentrist That's a valid concern, but bashing people who like to look at the sky isn't going to gain you any sympathy. Quite the opposite in fact. He gave no indication that he believes it's all about him.... you, on the other hand.....

There should be no unsolved crime, but yet I have never heard of this surveillance being used to solve any crime.
it has, but we never hear about it because it's a felony to reveal investigative techniques within a court setting
Spy satellites are for intelligence community operations not law enforcement.
If this were true then there should be absolutely no crime. Every crime committed would have already been documented, the license plates all readable, the identities of every murderer identifiable. Why do police ask for any dashcam footage when there is already spectacular quality images available?
Bcs they dont care about crime also its prob still not as good as stated here and would be lots of effort todo. Also it would confirm it wich the gov woudnt like either. Why leak confidential info over someone getting killed? They would kill themselved to keep things a seecret
@@BabyKnxckz Doesn't make sense. Lots of taxpayer's money goes to investigating crimes that they would already know whodunnit, not to mention court costs, etc. Government could free up all that money for their own pet projects or for war and weapons, which they would far rather do.

Of grandma?
Former Army. I was told by a signals NCO that he could go into his TOC and see initials he had written on a penny. Take whatever “they say” they can do and multiply by 100. Nobody voted for the surveillance state, we just woke up with cameras and license plate readers and stingray devices, etc., everywhere. They watch and listen constantly, then store the information. It’s not good.
We didnt have to vote it in. The "plain view" laws are what seem to allow all this unwarranted surveillance.
If I knew what a TOC was, I'd probably agree with you.
No.
i would want a refund on my tax dollars if the NSA wasn't collecting that data though, it's the sole mission of the NSA to data collect domestically, it's how we protect national security
@@GX-105D You are OK with EVERYTHING you've ever said and done on an electronic device being stored in a giant database THAT YOU CANT REVIEW OR USE and you pay for it? Every email, every search, every website, every download, every phone text and convo, everything youve ever done tracked and logged?
GET THE FUCK OUT BOT
I don’t see satellites as a privacy issue as much as i do cameras and microphones. That the gov doesn’t sue meta into non existence over their use of microphones to listen to conversations is nuts to me. That posting random people online or subsequentely doxing them is not a criminal offense with extreme sentencing is nuts to me.
but i mean everyone is doxxed at least to an extent. your neighbors know where you live, the people who fix your toilet know where you live ect. shouldnt you be extremely worried that your neighbors all know where you live? best not to piss them off xd
@@kitkat47chrysalis95 A few people can be dealt with. The government and it's resources can't.
Most of us are not important enough for any government to track.
Satellites are expensive, a much cheaper technology already exists that does the same thing, surveillance drones and phone tracking. Drones can hover around a city and collect the movement data of every person and car. It isn't spying on a specific person but all your historical data can be pulled if need be. And yes, phones can be tracked too but this requires people to physically have them so it's easily defeated.
They didn't sue meta because they are a government project. In-q-tel
Crazy how good this technology is supposed to be, yet it fails to do the most simple task like catching predators
Ikr criminals escape for years 😂
As a sex offender myself, they do a terrible job. Self snitching seems to be the only way.
You think the government cares about criminals who victimize regular citizens?
Catching predators doesn’t make money for the Corporations.
That's because the point of the technology is not to catch predators...
It was back in the 1960's ,when the U2 spy plane was in operation, it was claimed they could read the headline on the front page of a newspaper from someone sitting on a park bench. Now they can define covered objects....
I am happy to have grown up in an age where I could look up and see only stars. I feel terrible for our children. We are taking the wonder out of the world.
Those aren’t all stars
You grew up with no planes in the air? Satellites don't really pollute our view of the sky as of yet.
that's not a luck star son, that's a surveillance satellite from china
@@jaredsilvers2782 The problem is actually neither of them when trying to see stars, but it's rather the light pollution reflected from the ground. The reason why I still haven't been able to ever see the Milky Way in my life. :(
I remember growing up in 90s finding the satellites because they moved slowly flickering. Now apparently they are smaller and hard to spot.
The worst time I got that prickly feeling on the back of my neck, it was because there was noone around.
I was on a trail on private land that had been clearcut some years before. The owner had replanted, but all of it with one kind of tree.
I got about 15 minutes in when I felt that feeling. That was when I realized there were no sounds. I looked around and realized there was no underbrush, no birds or animals, not even insects.
Spookiest place I have ever been. By the time I got to the other side, my pulse was skyrocketing, and it was all I could do not to start running.

According to Slartibartfast from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that's just plain paranoia, and we all suffer from it from time to time
Lack of diversity in the plants will cause a lack of diversity in the wildlife. When you're alone in a normal forest, there are no sounds nearby but some sounds in the distance because the critters that make noise hear you stomping around and stay quiet. However, when a predator is in the vicinity, even those distant sounds will stop. _That_ is why you feel unsettled in a quiet forest - our distant ancestors who were put on edge by an unusually quiet forest were more likely to either avoid the roaming predator or be prepared to deal with it. That was an instinct that served them well, so they more often lived, and those without it more often died. Now just about everyone has it, though it seldom comes up anymore.
A lot of the high resolution stuff has been around for many years. I remember seeing live footage over what was Camp Victory in Baghdad. It was like the shot you showed from an aeroplane at
What is SAD is that these cameras can't ever figure out when and where kids are taken
and where they are taken to
THAT is what IS SAD 😢
I’m not too bothered ,personally, by the notion of being “tracked”, but philosophically I think the diminishment of privacy for all is a real danger for society, if it empowers the government without helping also to limit it.
I don't care if they can see me. I care if the show up on my property. My property line is where their rights end.

My father worked for the NSA most of my life. He told me in the '80's that whatever tech the government had was at least 20yrs ahead of what they admit and that at that time we had satellites that could read a license plate or at night detect a flare as small as someone lighting a match.
I remember my father telling me in 1980 that we had satellites that were so clear you could read the newspaper over someone's shoulder sitting in Red Square
He was correct. My dad got a degree in computer science in 1970. He said the same thing almost to the word. What we see has been around 20 years and they have what we will see in 20 years.

During the most recent locust swarm in Africa (2018), here in the USA I used to buy jars of really good Strawberry Jam, from a local national-chain dollar store. The Strawberry Jam came in glass jars that had a rectangular shape, and the label said that the Jam was packaged by a co-op based in Egypt. TWO TIMES in a row, during the most recent African locust swarm, the jars had a full-grown locust inside. Both locusts were almost 4-inches long, and had been boiled (dead) to the point of being black. I found the black-boiled locusts BEFORE the news media had any reports of a "locust problem" in northeastern Africa.
Well, I knew a guy back in the late 70s who was in military intelligence, and once he let it slip that they had satellites that could read the rank of officers on a battlefield off their shoulders. I'm certain they can read license plates.

Oh, here's one more, that was far more consequential: Remember the 'weapons of mass destruction' we started a war over, that were nowhere to be found? Yeah, NINETEEN "intelligence" agencies insisted they were there.
My father who worked as an electrical engineer for Lockheed mention to me that they had satellites in the early 1960’s that could read license plates.

About 48 hours ago, I was sent a questionnaire on my phone. The questionnaire showed a still photo extracted from a recent video "short" that I had watched. The "short" presented MARVEL movie clips, depicting both Spider-man and Captain America fighting. The related questionnaire asked...
_What (if any) items do you feel likely to purchase as a result of having watched the indicated video "short"?_
Apparently, the true motivation for constantly sending mindless-topic video "shorts" to my phone is to secretly manipulate me to want to make imminent purchases.
This only served to remind me that people will always consider other lands as potential enemies before friends
I was conducting an experiment at an Army base in Georgia on a Govt research program. We asked if we could take pictures of the site and setup. Not allowed but they could supply pics that were screened and approved. 2 days later they hand me photo taken by a satellite of the site. Then he hands me one of me and my colleague and it was like it was taken from 10 feet away. Doesn't matter security CCTV cameras have every populated area covered all ready. Your phone tells them where it is 24/7.

I worked with a guy that was retired naval intelligence. He said in the mid 1980s, he was already working with satellites that I could see inside of buildings. Whatever the public is aware of, is usually decades old technology

As an amateur astronomer, I have some doubts about claims of less than 1 meter resolution from 500 kilometers high, as air pollution and humidity blurs the picture. Magnifications of more than 1000 times are close to impossible, unless you are located high up in the Atachama desert and use adapted optics, but the radar technique may be able to make a slightly better resolution. But why be scared by that, since we all run around with a smartphone in our pocket which also records our purchases and conversations🙂
One good reason to always pay with cash.
Having so many satellites in earth orbit poses another serious problem. Satellite collisions and space pollution will generate debris which can cause more collisions in a cascading effect called the Kessler syndrome. This debris would make low earth orbit a dead zone for satellites until the debris falls out of orbit. And Elon Muskyboat's plan to put up tens of thousands more will not help.
I have a problem with 42,000 starlink satellites, that I am forced to look at the rest of my life. It really seems like a step back in technology if now it takes thousands of satellites to do what one did before.
Starlink isn't just about doing "what one did before" it's providing internet to those who never had it before or couldn't afford it before.
There is a hell of a lot more going on than that.
What 1 satellite did is not what Starlink does. 42.000 satellites should have at least 200.000 times more capacity for carrying data (42.000 * (100 times closer resulting in higher SNR) / less focused antennae as it uses beam-forming instead of parabola).

I was told decades ago satellites could read the date on a dime
First time i used google earth was back in 2010. I looked around the area i lived at the time, Sydney. When i looked at Bondi Beach i was amazed at the detail and clarity, you could tell men from women their clothing colour. Even saw a shark swimming off shore, well its dark outline and i could define its shape easily. When you look now its nowhere near as clear and detailed. It was a lot clearer then that iranian rocket sight photo.
They are using aerial photography, not satellite, for high density places. Hence huge difference in resolution on these maps. Plus they update it only once a few years.
That poor shark did not want its picture posted on the internet!

Very well done video, I think it could've been great to also go over the fairly large limitations of satellites also, especially when you consider their orbits, latency and limited bandwidth communicating with them. When you consider this it makes sense that targets for observation need to be carefully considered and prioritized. Given the limitations, higher levels of detail is not always the most important thing. Things like real time observations of relatively small targets is not always feasible, for many military applications this can leave blind spots, this is why drones are critical to fill in the gaps that satellites fail to cover. Drones are often far better at gathering information in most ways, and they're cheaper in every way including logistics and operations, this is why most countries prioritize development and procurement of drones over satellites.
Well said. Was thinking the same. It's sounds like a lot but compared to billions of people it's nothing. Also people need to understand that they're not worth the money to follow.
I've not run the numbers, but im quite sure that with those 11 "eyes" up there it would be impossible - and by a very large margin - to for example monitor Time Square 24/7/365.
Would be quite interesting to run the numbers jsut to get a feeling for what it possible and what not... but for now I'm not too vorried for the near future.
@@AkantorJojo "Run the numbers" on an optical collection area the size of a football field in GEO. They would have 24/7 coverage.
Bandwidth is not a problem for government spy sats. They have far more than anyone would be able to obtain commercially, because they have a monopoly on their own networks.
@@stuartgray5877 except such an orbital telescope does not currently exist. There is not even any optical telescope that size today anywhere... not even close.

My favorite claim by google for why they don't have proper sat images of Antarctica is that "the snow is too bright to get clear images" even though they have photographs of other snow covered areas with extreme resolution.

Absolutely excellent topic to explore - and done wonderfully well. The whole thing scares the bejesus out of me. One centimeter satellite pixel resolution, AI/ChatGPT social management for profit, never-ending nuclear annihilation threats .... Can't we just quietly, peacefully explore the Cosmos around us?
Actually, 1 cm resolution can't be done from space. Scientists figured out that better than 5cm is impossible - because of atmospheric interference - back in the 60s. Also, the Key Hole series of satellites have been tremendously helpful to science. Al Gore was able to convince the NRO to declassify a treasure-trove of pictures from those early Corona satellites mentioned in the video for scientific purposes. Scientists were able to learn much about weather patterns and environmental impacts (including the shrinking of the Aral Sea) by pouring over this data. That's without even getting into how much KH-11 helped the Hubble Space Telescope, and the even bigger benefit a KH-11 follow-on program brought to the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman telescope. Also, the National Reconnaissance Office has less than half the budget of NASA. It's not an impediment to science - we can study the cosmos and monitor authoritarian regimes at the same time.
Not while we elect people who put profit above planet. Not while people can amass so much wealth, they can severely impact elections, if not completely buy them. Not with the current power structures. And not without solving the human condition.

One should also consider the image processing capabilities of such satellites as well. Constant hawk can monitor a whole city and find where anyone went and rewind them back to where they are started. If you apply this technology to SAR satellites, someone can track you even if you don’t have a smartphone. No matter if it is day or night or even clouds are present.

I don't know where you live but, given the Light pollution coming from many cities, you can already say goodbye to a clear view of the night sky. So maybe we should do something about that.
Would you be prepared to support Regulations to govern THAT?

SL satellites are so small they're practically imperceptible to the naked eye unless you looking for them directly. You do know how large the surface area of the Earth is right? That surface area becomes much larger when you are in orbit. I can guarantee those SL satellites are going to zero difference in night time viewing.
@@heathb4319SL don't have those capabilities, that's tinfoil hat talk. Yes, there are organisations out there that use chemicals to alter weather but these chemicals are not harmful to us on the ground, it's mostly silver nitrates/nitrites to help it rain in dry areas.
So far there is only "4500" starlink up there. They've also made them dark so as not to disturb observers. They are also small, so they don't really obstruct the view.
I remember buying satellite footage back in the late 90s, of JFK airport, for a commercial. I'm in visual effects.
Pretty sure this would be illegal today, I do remember buying the highest resolution available to the public at the time. And it was in the range of around 50 cm or so, if not less. You could clearly make out wings and details of planes on the runway.
yes but that isn't real time... and that data is still available to buy... still expensive even just for a few sq mile of simple height dem
Yup, I know it was very pricey at the time..
nah, it's more legal today than ever before, google maps does exist
Dude, if hundreds of satellites are watching me, someone really needs to get a life.
As resolution improves it comes to some degree at the cost of coverage. High resolution satellites often have to dip down into the margins of the atmosphere which is costly when they have to recover altitude and loose orbit decaying friction with the upper atmosphere. The area they may sweep can be very tight.
If I trusted my government to both regulate commercial use and to not abuse it themselves, then I don't think I'd be too bothered. Perhaps the benefits you mentioned could _potentially_ outweigh the risks. The thing is, I don't trust my government, not one tiny bit.
I have a telescope and binoculars. I can watch them watching me, and see how they like it.
😂
Thx u for informing us l,and being so thorough. simply enjoy videos❤❤
And think about it, if a camera can identify a car from space reading a newspaper is a given. Technically the cameras might already see through our atomic matter inside our cells, these aren’t polaroids.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If someone is watching me via surveillance cameras, drones, or heaven forbid satellites. Then they are some extremely bored people and could probably find something way more interesting to watch. But if they are in fact watching me, then I feel flattered that someone out there has so much interest in little ol me
We already have trackers in our pockets, even if people think they can turn them off.
You can just not carry them. Nobody with half a brain who is trying to be covert will carry a phone, or any other radio capable device, as they move around.
Uhh, not if you take them out of your pocket and leave it somewhere. Has that really never occurred to you?
So i wonder if you could make a device that looks for the radar signal emited by the satellites cameras and use it as a way to tell if a specific type of satellite is looking in your general area. Wouldn't be much use for the general person but could provide early warning to a base or military personnel that are being monitored
10:21 Not at all.
At one juncture over 50% of my net worth was invested in Maxar - the world's leading (private) space observation company. I devoted countless hours studying the company and its technology and I had an all-encompassing faith in the future of the business. Then in May of last year, Maxar was acquired and privatized by Advent International(with assistance from British Columbia Investment Management Corporation) the purchase price for which was a 129% premium on it's share price on the day of the announcement, a transaction which ended up nearly tripling my net worth. Compared to that I have concluded privacy is VERY overrated.

You can never have an expectation of privacy in public including your backyard if visible from above. The two are incompatable.
Overhead (space-based) cameras are 1 part of the equation,. but realistically any time you step outside your home,.. the amount of things gathering data on you is pretty immense. Any one in a relatively modern city is probably on 100's (if not 1000's) of different security cameras per day. Any traffic system you drive through is likely logged your anonymized Bluetooth MAC devices. (it's how they predict traffic flow). Any purchase you make might indicate a pattern of travel. Those could be used for the wrong reasons,.. but that data could save you to if you need to prove an alibi or justification why you were in a certain place.
Yea it just seems like, there's so much data on so many people that there isn't enough People to look through it all lmao, especially when there's no reason to
@@Kratos_TM Nobody uses actual people to look through the data any more,. it's all done by algorithms or search-filters or AI networks. If I remember correctly the NSA came out years ago and said it had a "big data problem" (to much data). Their problem isn't the amount of data (you actually want the largest set possible, because that helps you find more accurate patterns). If you have 10 million people in a city, you don't need to know what all 10 million of them are doing. You only need to somehow mark or identify certain patterns. If for example you suspect drugs are being sold out of a certain warehouse,. you only need data on vehicles or people that go to that warehouse.

if world war 3 were to happen overnight, and you woke up to an impossibly damaged infrastructure, you would instantly lose online access to everything: voice, internet, gps, etc. If you're older, like me, that's just not an issue at all. I regularly turn-off my phone, leave it at home when i run errands, etc. I lived through childhood into adulthood without any digital devices and I did just fine across the board.
That's a pretty stark contrast with the past generation or two as of today. They seem to need some sort of plug-in to do just about anything, and the idea of even one waking hour without their phone seems to rattle them. Stepping back to see the bigger picture, this is actually a massive vulnerability in the U.S. because if some hostile actor were to disable our infrastructure badly enough, it seems that roughly half the U.S. population wouldn't know how to exist, much less survive.

Back in the 80's when i first became a fighter jet crew chief at Edward's AFB CA. A test base, I once had a conversation with a fighter pilot after returning from his mission. I asked what they were currently doing and testing.
He told me wee had satalites with the capability to see a pack of cigarettes on the ground. And determine if it was Marlboro.
Red or lights.
Also they were using them to direct space lazers. This was mid 80's before any of the general public was talking about lazers. I found it fascinating at the time. I was on 20 years old.

The privacy aspect of this video is silly. It would be a lot easier to track where an individual goes, what they buy, and who they associate with using data from their cellphone, credit card, and social media than by satellite. Facial recognition would be difficult with only a centimeter resolution image of the top of someone's head.
When you're so big they need a satellite to take a picture of you.
All technology can be used either by good people or bad people, this is why governments must be kept in check by the citizens
