Reapers are unmanned though, so shouldn't that be a non issue?

Very cool!

What are some of the greatest contributions of SRTM?

I'm looking for real world application, uses cases.

Best lead so far is a 2011 "SRTM DEM and its application advances" that goes over some research papers + shows it was used in some natural disaster mapping

The more specific the better

That’s a pretty reasonable answer, and makes sense, I hadn’t thought about that

Completely unrelated but why are they flying in a hexagon pattern?
Naively looks more complicated than a circle?

I don’t know very many -if any- game devs

A few radar images made their way into Johnny Harri’s last video about War in Space

And I couldn’t help but smile seeing my name in the corner there too!

YouTube recommendations is still so wild to me

This video was sitting at ~50 views a day for a long time and suddenly just got recommended again to tens of thousands of people

YT is really like building a catalog of content that has many years shelf life

Nearly 2y after its initial release my video on satellite images passed 100k views!

4 videos in this channel:
1 with > 50k
1 with > 100k
1 with > 500k

Very excited so many people are interested about satellite images & maps

I didn't even know that was a thing, so no! But thank you for pointing me in that direction

That may very well just be it

Do you have any more info about this?

I'm looking for primary sources as much as possible!

Books, conferences, papers, people involved to talk to

If you know anything please let me know!

I'm looking for any info about how & why it was decided to use the Space Shuttle do create SRTM in 2000

A few questions I have:
- How of the world had we mapped in 3D before 2000?
- Why the Space Shuttle over a dedicate satellite (or pair of satellites)
- How the data was processed

I write to think

It forces me to have to bring all the different colliding thoughts going on in my mind into a single, sequential output: only one word after the other

Editing a first draft is a skill I've noticed helps me think in better ways as well. I still prefer doing this myself

For context: I don’t know much about your work, and I’ve spent relatively little time in academia and much more in the industry
I agree with a lot of your points, and many of them are why I didn’t want to continue in academia in the first place
I hope academia can adapt, we deeply need research

Got on to replace my tired 12 mini and really liking it so far!

What’s been your experience with it?

Wow, have you seen the stock market lately? – And by lately, I mean the past several years or more.  The value of the S&P 500 index of stocks, where most of us hopefully have a good chunk of our retirement savings stashed into…

I’ve really been enjoying reading Mr Money Mustache’s back catalog of blogs over the last few months
His latest today on the current status of the stock market is no exception. Great read: stay calm and stay the course, wild times are the norm

Apologies for taking a couple days to get back to you! (I know the PR got merged but adding for completion)

Thanks for putting in something for us!

Oh I’d love to read up on your thoughts on the whole process once you’re done!
I’ve been seeing more people take on projects like that and I’m both inspired and completely clueless as to the process, and results people can achieve
Also just really liking my current frame bag and no real need

My first demo of Fused to a live audience at @geomob.bsky.social London yesterday!

Catching up a with familiar faces -and new ones- is always nice!

It's nice to get some live feedback from people rather than doing everything online / remotely

If you were present and want to follow up, hit me up!
