Presentation
David McClintock:
"Infrastructure gone? Mesh gets data through"
Knowing or not - many lives of civilians, your soldiers, the food supplies of thousands - all hang in knowing or not.
Now assume that what you need to know is not measurable by satellite or aircraft. Assume further the area of significance is a thousand miles from any communications infrastructure. Worse, in places, there are folks who don't want you to know anything more.
Lives hang in the balance...
How do you even approach such problems?

I was showing this short to the early birds (same author who did "Letter to Marble3") and several folks asked if I would put it in the links. Why yes, of course:

...Because the acquisition of clean water in our town is not only a science, but a necessity, especially in the San Miguel de Allende area:
SMA Rotary Club rests upon a foundation of compassion and science, so it too gets a heads up from SciTechNature.
