I love weather satellites. Does anyone know how GOES-R compares to Japan's Himawari-8?<p>Also, looking at what these things can do it makes me wonder what the capabilities of the military/spy-sats are. I guess I'll find out in 30 years or so :)

This will benefit us all through weather prediction/alert apps. They're already somewhat useful, but this could really drive pinpoint accuracy for outdoor events and recreation.
