I'm in complete agreement with this point of view, with about 22 years experience in the remote sensing space, ~10 of that in private industry.

And its not just Planet that is hung-up on this same failed business model. Its also Hexagon, and a myriad of other earth-observation providers. Some are so difficult to work with its literally cheaper to go buy an airplane and a wide format camera and roll your own.

I would love to know more about the possibilities of Remote Sensing in the private industry. I‘m working in academia and have the feeling that I’m in an echo chamber all day every day and no insights at all. Any chance I can contact you or can you point me into a direction?

There’s a new one like every picosecond.” It’s “delivery, but for dorm rooms” for space tech.
