Worldview-3 -- Satellite That Could Allow Google and U.S Government to See Your Face from Space

Hey, everybody. Check out WorldView-3, the world’s first multi-payload, super-spectral, high-resolution commercial satellite. It's a newly launched satelite capable of capturing high-rez photographs -- perhaps high-rez enough to see what's hiding in our woods. According to Mashable, the satellite is now beaming 1.2 GBs of data from 385 miles above the Earth. Here is what it's capable of doing for humanity:

• It may prevent famine in Syria by identifying ahead of time exactly how many crops are being grown now that two million refugees, mostly farmers, have fled the country.
• It can help identify invasive species, tell the difference between limestone and sandstone, and inform cities where all their manhole covers and mailboxes are.
• It can estimate the number of chickens on the planet via its chicken coops (seriously!)
• It will send 1.2 GB of data back to Earth every second. Which means that it can send an extremely detailed image of everything between New York City and Washington, D.C., in just 45 seconds.
• If it were sitting in the 'O' in the Hollywood sign, it would be able to count the number of people on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, which is 385 miles away.
