We have satellites that can see down to ONE SQUARE CM, anywhere on earth, and AI that helps them look at THE WHOLE PLANET ALL THE TIME.
We have hyperspectral cameras that can see in a wider visual range than humans, including infrared spectra, microwave, radio, xray.
They have been able to find petroleum deposits DEEP underground, from space, for DECADES (I have privileged knowledge about this from a deceased high level USGIS geologist). Now they can find rare earths by tuning their views plus AI to look for likely geological features AND PLANTS that grow in areas with greater likelihood of rare earths (phytomining / hyperaccumulator plants)
Now tell me again why there are drugs coming into the United States.
