This is absolutely fucked. Bring down the all seeing eye in the sky satelite
"All seeing" except it's using radar to evaluate typography and biomass. What am I missing that makes this "absolutely fucked"?
Impressive that it has the resolution to identify fonts

How did you know? Really though I was looking at the picture in the article which is from similar technology about a decade ago.
they've had spy sats since the 1960s
its not that bad
