Seeing through clouds and smoke is impressive. What options do people have at this point to protect their own property from being seen from above? Massive tarps? Is full tree cover enough? Some kind of reflective glass dome? It'd be a shame if it's now impossible for people to have any view of the sky, day or night and rain or shine, without risking being watched and recorded from space.
