Manned aircraft may be replaced in part by unmanned aerial vehicles and satellites, he predicts.
What happens in the vast, deep ocean, out of sight and beyond the reach of sunlight and satellites?
There are also images taken from balloons and satellites, if you can get them, and they capture what you want.
Research groups around the world are devising strategies to catch old rocket bodies and satellites, to pull them out of orbit.
But developing profitable launch vehicles to carry humans, cargo, and satellites will remain difficult with NASA around to distort the market.
Meanwhile, American components and satellites are suffering because of the cost and delays in doing business with the firms that make them.
They are also increasingly found in cars, buses, planes, trains and satellites.
Every day millions of our citizens on every continent use laptops and satellites to send information, products and money across the planet in seconds.
If there are problems with the warming as measured by weather stations on land, there are also more reliable data from ships and satellites.
The mineral composition of the meteorite is identical to known portions of the Martian crust that have been examined by Martian rovers and satellites.
The obvious competitors are telephone companies, cable TV operators and satellites.
The pigeons have given way to the cables and satellites that deliver telephone calls and television pictures, but controls on foreign ownership have stayed and spread.
Never before did a generation of budding media professionals know more than the owners of printing presses and satellites about how to communicate and engage with an audience.
FORBES: Inside Forbes: On a Visit to Ole Miss, a Look Into Journalism's Past, Present and Future
Down the road from UCSD, 30-foot screens at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography project geomorphic data obtained from radar, sonar and satellites, combined into a single 3-D image.
For example, according to all GCM simulations, increased CO2 concentrations should have produced an increased tropical warming trend with altitude, which is contrary to what balloon and satellites observations actually show.
FORBES: Global Warming? No, Natural, Predictable Climate Change
Weather stations, ocean measurements, decreases in snow cover, reductions in Arctic sea ice, longer growing seasons, balloon measurements, boreholes and satellites all show results consistent with the surface record of warming.

After the cancellation of the Lavi, IAI concentrated more on developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, also called drones) and satellites to provide first the IDF and then overseas customers with state-of-the-art capability in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Yet as UAV technology improves they are set to become an even more important part of security and military operations -- part of a system that gathers and relays information to other drones, ground control, manned aircraft and satellites.
Once Boeing's boss, Phil Condit, and his then number two, Harry Stonecipher (who had been McDonnell's last boss), had bedded down the mergers, they realised they were sitting on a collection of assets that could be used to sprout all sorts of businesses aside from jetliners, rockets and satellites.
ECONOMIST: America's defence companies are turning dual-purpose
At its core, the modern space industry is all about building and launching satellites, and that business has been lagging--largely due to the extensive infrastructure already in orbit.
The achievements include sending rovers to Mars, placing countless communication and imagining satellites in orbit, and the International Space Station, a semi-permanent home in space.
We signed an authorisation to proceed yesterday with TAS to immediately begin work designing and building our satellites, and this puts us on track for our first launch of the new satellites in the first quarter of 2015.
The underlying problem here is, weather and observation satellites have both a very limited and very broad political constituencies.
The team is also under a follow-on production contract to deliver additional HEO payloads and the third and fourth GEO satellites, and associated ground modifications.
ENGADGET: First piece of SBIRS missile defense system launched, not shot down
LightSquared still controls valuable spectrum that might someday be used for more than transmitting data back and forth to satellites, and the company has a potential multibillion-dollar lawsuit against the FCC and GPS companies.
FORBES: Falcone's Fall: How A Billionaire Gambled On Washington And Lost
As technologies evolve that the Founders could not have possibly anticipated -- from fully automatic weapons and thermal imagers to satellites and digital technologies -- we have to figure out how to balance our rights as individuals and needs as a society.
The technology processes remote-sensing data, including data from the LANDSAT and RADAR satellites, in combination with ground truth data provided by a ground penetrating radar and other information drawn from geological, hydrogeological, geographical, hydrological and climate data and, when dealing with deep aquifers, seismological data.
EchoStar also delivers satellite services through 10 owned and leased in-orbit satellites and related FCC licenses.
ENGADGET: TiVo's $200m damages award against DISH is headed back to the appeals court, future
Solar blasts heading toward Earth can stoke up beautiful auroras in the nighttime sky, and wreak havoc on communications satellites and electrical power grids.
Planck will be the third spacecraft to investigate the CMB, after Nasa's COBE and WMAP satellites.
