The W.M. Keck Observatory, located in Hawaii, boasts the largest optical telescope in the world. And the remote sensoring lab in the department Jet Propulsion Laboratory can even detect the sowing and harvesting of crops in the Soviet Union. Even before Soviet purchasing officials have opened their mouths, the U.S. already knows how much grain they need each year, what kinds and at what price.
例如位於夏威夷的 W. M. Keck 天文台，就有一支全世界口徑最大的光學望遠鏡；JPL 的遙感探測實驗室，可以偵測出蘇聯穀物種植與收成的情況；每年蘇聯的採購官還沒開口，美國就已經知道他們需要哪些種類，數量多少，連價錢都算好了。
