With all the money they are throwing at their homeless issue and their crumblinng infrastructure, it is nice to see that California has enough cash on hand to do something like this - from the Los Angeles Times:
'We’re launching our own damn satellite' — Gov. Jerry Brown says California will go to space to fight climate change
Gov. Moonbeam is finally sending California into space.
Jerry Brown closed his climate summit in San Francisco on Friday with a dramatic announcement: California will launch its own satellite into orbit to track and monitor the formation of pollutants that cause climate change.
“With science still under attack and the climate threat growing, we’re launching our own damn satellite,” Brown said in prepared remarks. “This groundbreaking initiative will help governments, businesses and landowners pinpoint — and stop — destructive emissions with unprecedented precision, on a scale that’s never been done before.”
Emphasis mine - that sounds a little too ominous for my liking. Pinpoint and stop? Shades of Orwell.
