I'm constantly impressed that we are a civilisation that can look down from space and see this kind of barbarism.

"Visible from space" used to mean "by astronauts". If high-resolution sensors are allowed, then the term applies to things like a tree and a car, and doesn't signify much.

Well, maybe it signifies that nobody wants to go and take photos in person.

That sounds slow and expensive.

"Analysis by the Yale School of Public Health Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL), which has been tracking the siege using open source images and satellite imagery, found clusters of objects “consistent with the size of human bodies” and “reddish ground discolouration” thought to be either blood or disturbed soil."

The "visible from space" here is clearly dumb click bait from The Telegraph.

I'd happily do it if someone pays for my ticket

Start a gofundme, I'll chip in.

Ticket to Sudan, or ticket to space?

Having a foot in both the future and the past. Or at least I wish it were in the past.

Murder is timeless (apparently).

“The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.”

Can we verify those images are not edited or generated?

Why would you fake satellite images? The perpetrators uploaded videos by themselves

Because war propaganda exist. Verify, don't trust.

Yes, the ISS as a sadistic Christof

It's a libertarian paradise.
