The Beijing-3 captured high-resolution images that could identify individual vehicles over the San Francisco Bay within seconds, Chinese scientists said. 
  • The Beijing-3 snapped hi-res images of a 1,470 square-mile area of the US in 42 seconds.
  • The satellite can rotate rapidly in orbit without compromising image quality, researchers said.
  • This unprecedented feat means China can scan large areas in a single sweep, all in high definition.

A child of the peace and antiWar movements, a Truther with self-diagnosed Opposition Defiance Disorder, formerly politically liberal tho now politically marooned, and Post-Doomer, on any issue, I trend to the conspiracy side, sort through the absurd, fantastical and insane, until I find firm ground usually located just the other side of the censorship firewall of propaganda and orthodoxy, dogma, and other either / or thinking.
