I like your logic, save for the radar image you project when flying at high altitude, allowing air defenses to pick you off. or would a sandstorm effectively halt radar?
This seems a bit ambitious. From what I understand the holdup in flying in the sandstorms is the fear of hitting electrical lines. Is this tech gonna provide a level of resolution that can show a powerline? No way.
I agree that it sounds fishy. Here's some evidence:
Study done using remote sensing on Yellowstone to determine hydrocarbon pollution created by snowmobiles: http://www.westbioenergy.org/snow/#T opic_15 "Dynamometer studies and our data do not show significant effects on HC emissions, but the HC emissions are approximately sixty times greater than automobiles if compared to the Denver, CO fleet."
I know a 50cc 2 stroke engine, which runs forever on on mere tea-spoonfuls of gasoline causes massive pollution. It's because of the release of so much unburned fuel into the environment (25 to 40% according to EPA estimates). Anytime you run a simple engine at such high RPM's you run into this dilemma. I've heard claims that a 2-stroke lawnmower running for 1 hour produces as many pollutatnts, (excluding CO2 of course) as 40 automobiles.
I'm sure this engine is much smaller than that, maybe 8 or 15cc's but still too much pollution for the energy created.

Read about this a while back. This is really interesting. After the end of the cold war, the navy deployed this shop in the Mediterranean to search for greek ship wrecks. They found thousands of ships, cargo, etc, all well-preserved after thousands of years by the cold depths of the medi.
A UVic researcher is among a National Geographic Society team of oceanographers, engineers and archeologists that used a nuclear submarine to discover the largest concentration of ancient shipwrecks ever found in the deep sea. Dr. John Peter Oleson (Greek and Roman Studies) viewed the site off southern Italy and examined artifacts retrieved from 2,500 feet beneath an ancient Mediterranean Sea trade route by the remotely operated submersible Jason.

I get much better train control from my Jesus Palm Pilot

This think looks cool, but it doesn't hold a candle to the palm pilot built by jesus.

I'd love to add one of these m-100's to one of these personal robots and have my own autonomous drink caddy.
Of course, I'd prefer if the hardware was made by Jesus.

I've had it with microsoft. These days I only buy my software/hardware from Jesus.

Hmmm..

Good point. somehow I don't think 3-d satellite-aided vision is going to stop that. sometimes wired gets a little bit too impressed with itself.
