Posted in: Japan gives up on failed black hole research satellite See in context
That's nice and all, but why don't they put that money into earthquake research? That would really be making a contribution to the planet.
They are. Space exploration and Earth observation from space is of a incredible help for earthquake research, and disaster prevention/mitigation.
Satellites can detect slow movements or displacements of a few millimetres, gas emissions, soil humidity, etc. apart from images, almost real-time. For earthquakes, fault study, volcanos, etc. that is a really important information.
And after a disaster, you can get images from the disaster area and quickly evaluate damages, road status, etc.
