Sci/Tech Giant wind-blown ball rolls around and detonates landmines

[FireCat]

Why not Just use a "Satellite sensor to detects landmines?

 

[Varine]

Well what the hell, FireCat. What a great idea. Yeah why not just invent some kind of a thing that can detect small pieces of metal buried underground from fucking three hundred miles away and throw it on a satellite?

If you can build a "Voyager spacecraft" So why not a satellite for such purpose??????

 

[Varine]

... that is the worst example ever. Of all time.

 

[FireCat]

No It Isn't!
If they cannot create such thing, then they can't build a spacecraft, Simple as that!

 

[Varine]

How is it that simple? A spacecraft is much less complicated, at least in terms of the general use, than something like supercameras that can find tiny little pieces of underground metal from that distance.

 

[camelCase]

A supercamera still wouldn't see metal if it's underground..

 

[Varine]

Exactly. What he said.

 

[FireCat]

Sure. So they find the landmines through their hands now?

 

[Varine]

Do you know how a landmine works? Or a camera, for that matter?

 

[FireCat]

Do you know how a landmine works? Or a camera, for that matter?

can you explain how this works then? And you can always explain "Why they couldn't create a detector (or something similar) in the future" eh?

 

[Fatmankev]

It's a nice idea, FC, but if they knew how to do such a thing then it would certainly already be done.

 

[FireCat]

but if they knew how to do such a thing then it would certainly already be done.

If Satellite radar can reveal coal mines. Then they can make such things for landmines. Maybe not now but in the future.

Satellite-based synthetic aperture radar interferometry could be an effective monitoring technique for geologists and regulators who oversee underground coal mining.

Extracting coal from underground mines generally leads to subsidence of the overlaying land within a period of days to years. Underground mines are by their nature hidden from casual view. Land subsidence can give important clues as to the extent of a mine and its impact on the land.1, 2 Local governments can use this information to ensure miners are staying within permitted areas and to monitor environmental effects. Regulators and geologists conventionally monitor land subsidence with in situ field techniques that require expensive, time-consuming measurements on the ground that can be difficult or impossible to perform in steep mountain ranges and other inhospitable terrain

[Fatmankev]

You've gotta understand the margin of error present in this sort of thing. First, let me start by saying that I don't know what the subsidence of the overlaying land might be or how that could help detect the extent of the mine, so I don't really understand how this technology works. That being said, there is a colossal difference between mapping underground caverns that can be miles long and finding thousands upon thousands of mines over a ridiculously vast area that are only inches in diameter. The S.S.A.R.I. that you offered as an example in your last post is nothing at all like what you're suggesting be made to detect landmines.

Hopefully by the time we have that sort of technology, we won't need to worry about stepping on a landmine.

...robot boots.

 

[FireCat]

Then they can't claim "there's aliens on mars either" Or something Far far away" Right?

 

[Varine]

Who's they? Because no space agency has. We said there's bacterias or something on Mars, but that wasn't a satellite.

 

[Fatmankev]

Yeah, I'm not making the connection there this time, FC.

 

[FireCat]

Yeah, I'm not making the connection there this time, FC.

If they can't see what's underground, inside earth. How can you be sure, they don't lie "About what's out there in space far away from Earth? Hmm Maybe it's Just bunch of lies?

Who's they?

"NASA" Well, it might be alien also. Who Knows?

They can see what is underground, but it depends how big those objects are you want to find. Furthermore, they are not just looking at another planet, they also analyse the atmosphere and the elements present on the planet and decide upon those findings whether life would be probable on the planet.

But they can never say, they are 100% sure.
Well, you know "they had never been over there"
