I thought about this and ideally that screen wouldn't be hard coded to a tech (Sky Hydroponics Lab's tech). It should just be visible all the time. Factions that haven't researched satellites can't see who else has built satellites which is not really ideal. I think they were going for a kind of simplified UI approach but it didn't make sense

Yeah I'm not seeing a lot of military value in hiding the info.  Something tweaky for multiplayer, that you could build up satellites without others noticing?  But they get announced when they're launched.  So that just means you'd have to perform the PITA of manually counting and tabulating what's up in space.  On the balance I think that's pointless.

Planet's atmosphere, though a gasping death to humans and most animals, is paradise for Earth plants. The high nitrate content of the soil and the rich yellow sunlight bring an abundant harvest wherever adjustments can be made for the unusual soil conditions.
