I don't think its been said, but the ultimate in drone real estate overflights is the Austin Gigafactory.

There are two or three Youtube channels competing for Patreon funding with daily overflights. This one today is a good example. He always begins with a retrospective montage from a rough patch of Texas, through the snow on day 52 to current. This one has Bonus Time at ?t=540 and a bit at the end about the Boring Company paving their driveway.



Apropos the Boring Company, today's Keiser Report references Halford John Mackinder's 1904 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geographical_Pivot_of_History. He even published a map,but was blind to the truth.



He asserted a 'World-island' with Inner and Outer islands, North and South America being an outer island. This was corrected with R. B. Fuller's Dymaxion map projection which shows one world-island in a world ocean or vice versa (figure/ground stuffs).

So I'm thinking a priority would be to get the Boring company to drive three holes below the Bering Strait. Two for one-way traffic and one for maintenance and a high-voltage DC transmission line. To complete Fuller's round-the-world electrical grid. Load-balancing through the Bering Strait is probably as important as the Hyperloop.
