If we plant enough trees in the Mideast, the Muslim nations will live in peace with their neighbors, and pursue mostly peaceful racial justice and stuff.

North side of St. Louis, a tree falls in the street, it stays there for three weeks.
 
West County St. Louis, a tree falls in the street, 27 people call Official People, and crews are dispatched to remove it.
 
South City St. Louis, a tree falls in the street, three bubbas with chainsaws show  up to cut it up and throw it in their pickups, and end up brawling to the death.

NASA's job is to prevent Americans from expanding into space with a side gig of shoveling money to corporations for little return of value.

How do they detect race?  Reflectivity levels between neighborhoods? 

I know if I am outside they might to have to make corrections for too much glare.
