Have I ever pretended to be something? I think back in college I think I might have told a girl that I was a professional tennis player once. And then, of course, she had never heard of me so I had to dig deeper. 'I'm just sort of on the playing satellites. You know, I'm kind of working my way up. I'm not ranked in the top 100 or anything.

I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can't really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work - making an investment in the future of humanity.

There are certainly some secrets the government needs to protect, but many of the most important clues about revolutions, nuclear transfers, and new military sites can be found online, in open chat rooms and commercial satellite photos.

Canada's a huge country, so to be able to unite the country through communication satellite technology or to be able to observe it through remote sensing technology from space is a natural fit for a country like Canada.

During the past few decades, modern technology, with radio, TV, air travel, and satellites, has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts.

The world I live in is benefiting from things like satellite radio. Jazz and blues fests are everywhere now, and Americana is going strong on college radio. What I'm hearing is an appreciation of real music.

Even more than we want good love for ourselves, we want it for our children, those vulnerable satellites of our hearts that we send, unsteady, into the world.

When you look at the number of satellites, what they're doing and what they represent, it is really a vision of trying to have the world in your clutches.

What is sure is that the satellite view of our world and its evolution is now a common reality.

Hubble isn't just a satellite; it's about humanity's quest for knowledge.

Refer to 'satellite' for objects specifically designed for tasks like GPS, weather monitoring, or surveillance in space.

Space Usage

Specify the function when possible, such as 'communication satellite' for clarity on its purpose.

Clarify Function

Use 'satellite' to describe natural bodies that orbit planets, emphasizing movement and relation to host.

Orbital Context

Differentiate 'natural satellites' like the Moon from man-made ones to avoid confusion.

Natural vs Man-made

Highlight the power dynamics when referring to 'satellite nations' or similar political terms.

Power Relations

Convey the extent of influence when calling an entity a 'satellite' in political or corporate terms.

Influence Extension

Use 'satellite' to denote a facility or office that is secondary to a central location.

Secondary Locations

Explain that 'satellite' can mean connected but independently operating services or branches.

 We navigated by looking at landmarks on the comet. We recognized features -- boulders, craters -- and that's how we know where we are respective to the comet. And, of course, it's the first satellite to go beyond the orbit of Jupiter on solar cells. Now, this sounds more heroic than it actually is,

 We have the benefits of all the science and technology that we talk about here. We've got cell phones to get information from the public and get information out to them. We have satellite maps where we can see where people are and where they're moving. We have advances in biology

 and what I've been calling the other inconvenient truth. But first, I want to take you on a little journey. Let's first visit our planet, but at night, and from space. This is what our planet looks like from outer space at nighttime, if you were to take a satellite and travel

Jonathan Foley: The...

 Let's break that down. First of all, why is it so important to know what time it is on a satellite when location is what we're concerned about? The first thing your phone needs to determine is how far it is from a satellite. Each satellite constantly broadcasts radio signals

 that the frontier is worth opening up our satellites and our system that we're building has to pay for itself it has to exist for its own right not just because it's a cool thing to do but because it actually provides value at the end of the day makes the world better

This Small Satellite...

 And since most objects sent to space are not designed with disposal in mind, these highways only become more congested over time. The good news is, we can protect ourselves by studying our solar system, creating backup options for our satellite networks,

What if every satellite...

 heard them shout and they said killer whales get the whales and and we knew we were with a group so the only way we were ever going to be able to keep up with these guys is if we could get a satellite tag onto one of the members of the family group

 from giant radio dishes to giant silver mirrors to space satellites, detecting light that would be otherwise blocked by the Earth's atmosphere. Astrophysicists don't just see the billions of stars among the billions of galaxies in the universe.

 there are millions of undiscovered archaeological sites around the world and the only way that we're going to find them is by using satellites and as yet undeveloped technologies that you all will help invent but you're not even

 Some of these questions cannot be answered solely from visual images, but what if we had messengers bringing us physical data from distant parts of the cosmos, beyond the reach of explorers or satellites?
