Innovation has taken the world to a new sphere that now a satellite rotates around world taking in life feeds and showing it to the public. The urthcast initiative, aims to give us the view that astronauts only see. It is the first of its kind to do so is high definition and gives the viewer a real impression of the platform of the earth.
It may seem that the urthcast initiative may causes harm to the people, as its information might get into the wrong hands but the company itself works on principles that may lead them to jail if information is given to the certain party’s. This new idea further works with smart phones.
We can view almost anything from hurricane to thunder storms anywhere around the but the only I see is that it the satellite does not point to an exact location of your request if not in range but we only see what the camera crosses by. I would give it a few more years till that changes and we can see anything at any given time.
