If I had a hybrid that big, I would probably be a bit of a cünt about it too
you've certainly earned the bragging rights.
Are you any closer to going public?

I note that Vera is pointed in the direction of some seemingly oxidised and presumably derelict structures, I wonder... hehe

'Visible from space' makes for good bragging rights, but conversely it is now the only spud gun vulnerable to attack from a Low-Orbit Ion Cannon.

And for those who don't pay attention to the forums lower down on the main menu, she may be seen in operation in the Hybrid forum.

Strictly speaking, most of Google Earth's high-res stuff is aerial photography, and not from space.... But that doesn't make it any less impressive. Or me any less jealous, haha.

Killjoy.
(Yeah, I know. Commercial satellites are only good to about 1 m resolution. That pic is probably good to about 1 foot. Still, it was a fun thread title, damnit!)

Could be
closer than you think.

Well actually no. "Visible" generally means visible without optical assistance. If you allow lenses then virtually all spudguns, even minis, would be "visible" from space (as long as they are uncovered). Perhaps not by a commercial satellite but certainly to a spy satellite.
Still, it is a great thread title.
