re: GeoEye Launch a Success
I hope we get confirmation that Elvis is really dead. ;-)
But seriously, since Geo Eye 1 will have maximum
resolution down to 0.41 meters/pixel [16 inches/pixel].
I estimate that, laying down in its imagery path,
an average man, with sharp contrasting [dark vs light] clothing
compared to the surface beneath him, will only appear in five pixels;
ten maybe fifteen, if late afternoon or early morning shadows
are taken into account.
