Some 18 years ago I was with a company that made photoresist chemicals for micro-electronic fab. At the time we were doing real small geometries that wouldn't see commerical apps for 10 years later. The stuff we did was DARPA funded. At the time it was classified and frankly seemed impossible at the time. Today its common. At the time there were a few applications that were used for sats and some for the results that theye shared in passing were nuts! I mean they could take a pic of a golf ball logo from what one would consider space. And that was stuff spoke in pirvate passing.

I can only imagine what is going on now.
