I don't think we are "meant" to do anything... free will and all that... we choose to progress, advance, and explore.

The good news if our planet comes under attack by aliens then we can just throw a bunch of junk up there they would have to fly through...

Or... it could be a tech blog and they write about what they see. Techie people like details and specs - Giz didn't choose the device, they only identified it. I am sure if the video was on a Motorola Zoom and they could identify it they would have said it.

Lived in Boston, live in Connecticut now - I like what you guys are doing, and while I don't think your service is right for me now - I will still consider you in the future!

They can't read licence plates from space because the atmosphere bends the light too much... but they can identify the make and model of a car.

It was taken in Hartford Connecticut - that is CT for short - CN is Canada I think .

If they were smart, why would they let us know they were able to decipher it.

I think that your theory of doors opening into hallways is equally flawed - most doors open in the direction people need to travel in an emergency - out of rooms into hallways - into stairwells - swing out of building exits.

When the moon appears close to the horizon your brain perceives it differently, your brain gives it scale compared to the objects (trees buildings) that are near it. If you outstretch your arm you can still cover it at the horizon just like you can when it is in the sky. Its physical size in view never changes, only…

Sometimes clouds are the best pictures... taken a while back with an iPhone 3G

I seem to remember a line where he said "if you can afford it"
