Deflation is great

quoting note15nu…h6tv

Apparently "agile aerospace" has been a thing for a while and it's kicking butt. Why build a big expensive satellite when you can constantly launch tiny disposable satellites that are getting better each iteration? Taking a picture of the entire surface of the Earth every day is an incredible tool for humanity. The problem is that this imagery data is prohibitively expensive for individuals to access. Could miniature satellite technology become so accessible that "run your own satellite" is as common as "run your own node"?
