> A global **methane-tracking** satellite will be sent into orbit in New Zealand’s first state-funded space mission.

> The Government will put **$26 million** into a joint mission with the United States’ Environmental Defense Fund to launch and operate the organisation’s state-of-the-art data-gathering **Methane**SAT satellite, Research, Science and Innovation Minister Megan Woods announced on Wednesday.

> The satellite is scheduled to be launched in 2022, with a mission control to be based out of New Zealand, although where the base will be has yet to be decided.

> \[…\]”This investment will build important capability in our rapidly growing space sector and put New Zealand at the global frontier of science and innovation by building partnerships with world-leading atmospheric scientists,” Woods said.

> She said while the satellite was **designed to collect emissions data from the oil and gas industry** the possibility of using for **agriculture** in the future would be considered.

In other words a 26 million dollar cow fart SPY satellite to monitor farts “emissions.”

Clearly all our children are out of poverty and all our homeless now have homes. Why else would the government spend 26 MILLION dollars to spy on cow farts?
