A Landsat-based "Earth-Selfie" concept <br /> Cost: Less than 3 coffee-latte's <br />per American per year <br />Support SIXTEEN Landsats in orbit <br />DAILY Earth-Selfie's <br />Consider: <br />99% of all Americans spend at least $10 per week on <br />superfluous things: cafe-lattes; bottled water; movies; <br />gasoline to motor three blocks to the market-place or <br />across town to look for designer jeans. <br />However, we don't want to spend the <$0.50 PER YEAR <br />per American needed to launch and operate Landsats or <br />similar that take field-scale 'selfies' of our Nation. <br />Less than $6 per American PER YEAR would place SIXTEEN <br />Landsats into orbit, giving us DAILY Selfies of the entire <br />Nation. <br /> <br />Can you imagine what that would be like? A <br />Landsat 'Selfie' EVERY DAY??? <br />$800 million/LS <br />÷8 years <br />x 16 LS <br />÷ 300 million Americans <br />= $5.30 per American per year <br />
