LiveCode has a new eye on the earth

[Peter M. Brigham]

Just saw this in the NYT:

NASA just launched another photographic satellite to supplement the aging LandSat 7. Some of you may not know that the Landsat photographic image monitoring, collection, and distribution is run entirely in LiveCode. For those who are unfamiliar with it, here is the LC case study:

I am assuming that the same group will be using their LC software to collect images from the new satellite.

I love to use the NASA Landsat as an example of how LC is not just a hobbyist's language!
