    Maybe, but also I think I was looking at the raw ‘data bits’, not ‘binary’ data. It’s actually almost exactly 4GiB, even when dropping down to minimum error correction (1.7 GiB otherwise).

    (1454942×29531024÷1024÷10244.00

    Edit: So if alphanumeric mode could store lowercase letters, base64 would’ve stored more.

    Satellite imagery seems cheaper than you might think though. I’ve had SkyFi in my favourites for a while after they sponsored a YouTube video, and they seem to start at $8 per km2 for a new photo or $2.50 for a previously taken one.
