  • I paid a visit to Planet, they're one of my 'neighbours' in San Francisco's SOMA district. Their business is planetary imaging and they've launched over 100 Dove Cubesats which are built around the largest possible camera you can fit in a cubesat.

      +Ian Stallings SSH communications doesn't usually contain squiggly brackets and indentation, it looks a lot more like code. Hacker typer uses the Linux kernel (I believe) as text which fits a lot more with the image especially as most people wouldn't choose green and black for serious code editing - dark themes are usually black, white, purple and blue.

    • @vicviper319
      @vicviper319 8 лет назад +1

      Aww now that's not fair. I need to make KSP use more than 16 GB of ram and overwhelm a page-file that's on a fast ssd. Perhaps 100 satellites in LKO. I'll start loading my Space K Phoenix 9's

    • @12togo34
      @12togo34 8 лет назад

      ksp does not use more than 16 gb of ram? i thought if u have 64 bit program on a 64 bit OS it uses all ram available?

    • @vicviper319
      @vicviper319 8 лет назад

      Not that, I only have 16GB in my machine. After that Windows starts using the pagefile which should lead to KSP crashing (in theory)

      ... they do? I was thinking they would avoid you like the plague.
      I have no idea how these people could think this, there is such a massive volume of facts, science, and just out right reality that goes against their ideas.
      Some of them even say gravity doesn't exist... Yeah that one hurt my soul.
      I am honestly stunned they want to deal with you at all, i mean your WHOLE channel is about teaching or Edu-taining with science they say is not real.

      "Gravity isn't real, the flat Earth is accelerating upward at 9.8 m/s/s."

    But won't they become slower and slower over time till they get deeper into the atmosphere and finally fall down?

    I'm sorry, scott, I know it's not your fault but the terrible echo makes this unwatchable.

      It's actually reverb, not echo.

      motersk313 it's actually both, reverb and echo. Echo is long distance reflection of sound, reverb is when it's an echo that reaches the ear in less than 0.1 seconds.

      +Justin Koenig technically not correct.
      echo is the reflection of sound off an exterior object.
      reverb is an echo produced at the source of the sound. either digitally, or a chamber inside the mic.

      +danz409 they do sell this data.

      The data is remarkably valuable, so far with a lot of customers in finance being able to make more timely forecasts in agricultural and energy sectors - obviously with more applications possible too.
      Planet Labs also (awesomely, I might add) has been making data available for free during disasters and humanitarian crises.

    How much does each satellite unit cost in itself?
