I remember starting my career in GIS in 9th grade. We had a bunch of Landsat 5 (I think?) imagery and it was just the wildest, coolest thing ever. Especially when we began using the infrared bands to make vegetation pop out in false-colour composites.

Back then 30m resolution was pretty high. :)

Then Google Maps became a thing and it all slowly expanded into the public space. The rest is history.
