In fact, I dropped ASPRS membership when I was asked to sign a document that approves of this current administration’s outline to make the 2011 Landsat Continuity Mission a commercialized venture moving forward. This shouldn’t be news — this should prompt a clarified explanation as to why it wasn’t set-up that way from day one! I’m still waiting on any reaction to the public being ill informed on the smaller fault-lines and whether the USGS will ever incorporate that seismic monitoring in their datasets — as was highlighted by the recent St. Louis quake. · (0)
