So about three or four weeks later, we met a group of engineers randomly who had worked on the first private imaging satellite ever developed, and they told us that back in the 1970s, the U.S. government had found a powerful optimal tradeoff -- that in taking pictures at right about one meter resolution, being able to see objects one meter in size, they had found that they could not just get very high-quality images,
După 3 - 4 săptămâni, ne-am întâlnit întâmplător cu un grup de ingineri care lucraseră la primul satelit imagistic construit vreodată, şi ne-au spus că în anii '70, guvernul SUA găsise compromisul optim - că fotografiind cu o rezoluţie de 1 metru, adică fotografiind clar obiecte de 1m, puteai obţine imagini high-quality
