Awesome work. SAR imagery is notoriously fickle, and it is amazing to see these results from a DIYer.

Agreed. The focal range is something like 90KM to 1400KM based on this image and other off nadir images that have been shared by DigitalGlobe/Maxar, and it really makes you wonder what the focusing mechanism is fully capable of.

The sample distance (SSD) is noted on the GIF, and ranges between 6.5 and 4.6 cm for the images shown here.

I quite like the inclusion of the help needed section. I work for a publicly traded company so I don't know if it has much application for our size, but for a pre-IPO company it seems like a great opportunity to leverage the skills of their smaller investor base.

I also like the transparency of sharing it with ALL investors, and would add that it needs to be shared with all employees as well. Our publicly traded company is in the midst of an acquisition and a lot of detail has been shared with our investors. The issue is that most employees are not signed up to our investor alerts or monitoring SEC filings. It has resulted in some employees remarking that they felt left in the dark by leadership because they hear about acquisition details from the press (who pay attention to IR and SEC docs) instead of their own company leaders.

Is this distinction why they are often called the Top 3, not the Big 3?

First, the word free is most frequently interpreted as not costing money, which in this case is completely true. Second, your comparison to a false claim by the NYT is absurd.

All you had to do was close the tab and move on. I can't imagine getting through life making this big a deal on such a minor inconvenience. Good luck out there.

Is it really that hard to use a burner email?

What regulations do you suggest?

This varies greatly by area. The Denver/Boulder corridor has been exploding for the last 10 years and they can't build fast enough.

Are you talking about Boeing being complacent and greedy, or SpaceX? I'd agree with the former, but not the latter.

And many merchants either have this priced into their product already, or charge a fee to process a card.

Derp, yes I did mean Boeing. BO pulled out of commercial crew a while back. Thank you for the correction.
