Letter to Nasa

Greetings Nasa:

I was wondering if it was possible to ask for high quality images of certain areas on earth. I am trying to make 3 dimensional models of particular areas on earth and for the most part, I have been successful. Now I am working on making 3d representations of Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Australia. I am not sure how high a resolution you can achieve with your cameras, but I would like for the images to be about 150 miles wide and 125 miles tall with the highest possible resolution, also if it is possible, I would ask for the images to be mostly cloudless (if it is possible). Mainly I was curious to whether or not Nasa grants special image requests, but if so, I will respond with further details on the request.

Sincerest Regards,

Ethan Nino

alright guys, scrap the new pictures of jupiters moons project, we have to take a picture of some Small ass island noone cares about, some balck guys shooting each other, and a kangaroo with our 120 billion USD Hubble, just because some kid wrote a good paragraph on why he wants it done...


best of luck tho!


(yes i am that much of an ass to point out the obvious that much)

Include something along the lines of "You will receive rights to my models" or anything else you can come up with. If you like, I can rewrite it for you, however I think Rasq would do a better job than me.

NASA is a non-profit organization bitch!

Greetings NASA,

I'm [insert name here], and I am working on a project to create three-dimensional representations of different areas of Earth for [insert cause here]. Currently, I am working on Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Australia. It is going well, but now I need nigh quality pictures of these three countries and I was hoping you could help. If you have any high resolution pictures of these countries on file that I could use, I would be forever grateful. I'd prefer them to cover about 22,500 square miles if at all possible, without too much area obscured by clouds.

I wasn't sure whether NASA grants special requests for satellite images, but I figured it would give it a try. Where better to get high quality satellite images than from the people who own the satellites? If you would like more information or simply deny my request, you can contact me at [insert email here]. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this request.

Sincerest Regards,

[insert actual name here]
