like, prior to about 2005, if you had said "some day we'll have hundreds of satellites in orbit taking extremely high resolution images of the whole planet daily", people would respond with the same kinds of silly articles, extrapolating the cost of a standard earth imaging satellite up with simple multiplication and finding that it would cost way too much money
and they'd be right about the bogus scenario they envisioned, but wrong about the claim
