In 1990, assistant plant operator Daniel George Maston was charged after he took a sample of heavy water from the moderator system and loaded it into a "sport mix" drink dispenser in an industrial lunch zone. It was not loaded in a water cooler in an office as had been reported. Eight employees drank some of the contaminated water.
So the wiki entry on heavy water contains misreported info. see?

In other words you are happy to help wiki maintain inconsistencies.
When I view a CNN commentator mention moving a Satellite in2 position to take a photo and so many have cause its a very popular movie mistrake re spy Satellites -
I go to the trouble to look up their twitter account or open email and make the correction - So far that seems to be working.
For the trouble it does reduce my irritation. And YES remote controlled zooming of lens does happen on demand but that is limited to days later.

On the other hand the Jason Born series of movies wood lose a great movie plot tool. This fallacy drives in2 brains of viewers leading to unrealistic expectations.
Have one R/L story to share. Back when OJ Simpson was accused of killing his wife. Insiders wondered if there were any Satellite views of the crime scene - useful that is.
I forget exactly who had shots available but there was a great set but it was either 30 mins b4 or 30 after the event. I think it maybe was a French or Russkie bird.

So do you have to wait for a satellite to just move over where you want to take pics?

Two very different types of Satellites. The GEO's that sit in on spot relative to Earth and move exactly at same speed as Planet Earth. Problem with these is they are 22,236 miles UP. Great for Weather n Direct TV and relay of TV stations to keep CNN up and running around world. Very limited on seeing details on Ocean-Ground.
LEO's as in my communication Satellites and the Spy or commercial photo reconn types can be as low as 250 Miles so one can read a license plate.
LEO's are in a polar orbit and see a very narrow view of the earth as it rotates. So it takes a photo as the earth rotates. And many other variables on orbit but usually that one Satellite does not see the same spot on earth for several days.
Of course with many LEOs from many countries a faster view of one spot on earth is possible. Need to point out the actually altitudes are closer to 700 to 1200 miles because the closer to earth the more fuel needed to keep them UP.
So its really the waiting for the Earth to rotate but bear in mind its also moving relative to that one fixed polar orbit.
In theory the DOD CIA etc could fire some fuel to change things - In practice it takes Weeks/Days many after one fires a rocket to get a Satellite to settle in2 the next intended orbit and of course you burn months Years of running tyme when you do that. Its done all the tyme to replace a defective Satellite with a spare - but that is another matter.

I have NOT reviewed what Wiki says. But I bet its very accurate.
