How hard would it be to shade the entire Earth with a blanket positioned near the sun? Here on Earth sunlight is essentially parallel, but at some point closer to the sun we could perhaps pull this angular "hack" to shade Earth using a smaller object? Is it feasible or just a a daydream of mine?
Poverty will never cease to exist.
Some people in the USA consider themselves poor, while having cars, houses, access to food and potable water.
I myself had the opportunity to visit a indigenous tribe in Brazil. They would be considered poor by many people in the US, but they don't feel poor. I was offered shelter and food. They were happy to be able to offer me something, and that made them feel rich.
We should do what we can to bring basic and humane conditions to all. What comes after that is harder to manage. A mutable definition of poverty will always make it a moving target that is impossible to fulfill.
My comment was merely a semantic point, really boring actually.
I don't really understand your frame to comprehend how your originated your first sentence. As far as i can understand you appear to have misinterpreted my reply. With that in mind i suppose your "observation" is completely worthless as well.
Its not only in space, but very far away from the Earth and the Moon, so it doesn't become saturated with IR.
That apart, there is a lot of important IR a spy satellite would search for. The heat signature from a fighter jet is much larger that its visual signature, for example.
I can't help myself but enjoy the way people think that "laws" is something like a Death Note of sorts. You write it down and the world automagically adjusts itself.
That is precisely the problem: believing that one can succeed in this space.
Flying personal transport is not economical. On a side note, it doesn't matter how brilliant an engineer is if you set impractical goals to him. Neither good engineers not deep pocketed backers could make Theranos real.
