  • And today’s sponsor is also a valuable source of military intelligence
  • @vnctmrn
    looking at the sky through NVG's made me realize just how many satellites there are above us. it's crazy.
  • @omarrp14
    They should just announce that some of the satellites belong to just random departments. Like a brand new top-of-the-line spy satellite belongs to the department of education because they’re trying to learn what the enemy has.
  • @GodGuy8
    the eye in the sky.. but fr that wayback machine document might get removed soon
  • @Chiberia
    11:07 - almost 100% the images of the "burn up" are a secondary payload designed to burn up in the atmosphere and act as deceptive imagery
  • @nebufabu
    The number of various three-letter-agency watchlists this channel is on must be legendary.
  • @trespire
    For anyone interested, the push to develope the first CORONA optical satelite, and the launch system to get into orbit, is a fascinating story of overcoming impossible engineering challanges, involving a meriad of expertese from Eastman Kodak to Coca Cola to Corning glassworks.
  • Your videos are some of my favorite. It’s pretty amazing how you get the information you do; it’s all so interesting. Please keep making these!
  • @Cyclegladiator
    I worked on SBIRS (Space Based Infrared Satellite) at Northrop Grumman 😎
  • no mention of the "Bat Sats" as i like to call em that use echo location to take pictures, one rumor i heard is that if it flies over an airbase and a hanger door is open it can see what's in there!
  • @arkeezy
    Great video! always love when you drop a new video!
  • Hey! look! what a coincidence, that black van that was parked outside my house last week is back! 😃
  • @MedicalMyke
    As someone who used to work in and around space birds, they not only have the abilities you've mentioned, also a couple more that have yet to be discovered.
