Are you the TerrAvion? Very impressed by the company you've built, and didn't realize you had a military background.
I've heard it described by the NGA as the "success-catastrophe of big data." They are struggling to figure out wtf to do with a data source like Planet that is daily, everywhere. Change detection has turned out to be WAY harder than anticipated, so most of it goes not only unseen but also un-analyzed. It's a giant waste of valuable information that is still locked up in servers of AWS and Google Cloud.
