"Stressed the city's sanitation systems"????

The dump?

No..... what they are really saying in an indirect way is that Nassau is a dump!

NASA's just using the term "stress the city's sanitation system" as a euphemism because they're attempting to maintain an atmosphere of diplomacy and don't want to publicly insult us.

Their explanation is nothing more than a substitute for the harsh reality that Nassau is a filthy third-world shit hole reservoir!

Wow...and they can tell all that from space?:)

Not only just from space...... but you have to remember that millions of visitors travel thru Nassau every year.
Many complain about the congestion and filth that is prevalent in Nassau. They come expecting an island paradise, only to find decadent, dirty, stagnant pool of filth, coupled by rude and offensive people.

Have you ever walk around downtown and taken a deep breath????
You don't need a satellite orbiting the earth to know that Nassau is a dump.

I can see why people would move there. It's a nice place with a lot of beautiful sights and lots of nature. I'm sure it's a good place to live. [Andrei][1]

All the green spaces just about gone. The dump on fire consuming whatever clean air there is and you want to know why everyone gone crazy and killing up each other

Top photo. Healthy lungs. Bottom photo. Smokers lungs. Any questions?

We now have New Providence looking like Calcutta or Haiti as sharply contrasted with the lush greenery, pleasing mountainous topography and beautiful beaches that dominate most of Cuba. The current owners and financiers of Bah Mar and Atlantis no doubt fear the worst when it comes to the future of New Providence as a tourist destination. A telling statistic is the incidence of violent crime per capita. Wikipedia shows that, of a total of 218 countries in 2012, the Bahamas ranked 13 whereas Cuba ranked 117 in the incidence of violent crime per capita. Since 2012 the Bahamas has no doubt moved a few rungs up the crime ladder and now probably ranks in the top 10 violent crime ridden countries in the world. As U.S. foreign policy restrictions towards Cuba continue to be relaxed, the North American tourist market will hands down choose Cuba over New Providence thanks in large part to the failed policies and opportunities squandered by successive Christie led PLP governments and Ingraham led FNM governments since 1992. So as to properly give credit to all three politicians primarily responsible for the impending demise of our tourist industry, let's not forget the seed for violent crime that was planted by the great love affair Pindling and his led PLP governments had with Colombian drug traffickers in the 1980's. Much to the chagrin of the people of the Bahamas, the horrid chapter on the true legacies of Pindling, Ingraham and Christie is about to be written for all to remember for generations of Bahamians to come. Stay tuned!

So true.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Not only have both parties (PLP and FNM) failed the Bahamas..... but the citizens of the Bahamas have failed aswell.

Can NASA find the guns and drug houses??????????? Thats the main problem

They can...... but that's not NASA's responsibility...... it's our responsibility. If our country would produce a consortium of scientific engineers, physicist, chemist, computer and electronic engineers to manufacture anti-crime devices such as drones and sonar-scan imaging to help combat complex criminal activity such as human, gun and drug smuggling; then the Bahamas would be in a better state. We could even develop a market where we could sell our products to surrounding Caribbean countries.

But unfortunately this probabley wont happen seeing that our national GPA is an F.

That would be great. I wonder if they could find the cowardly leader's courage....what about the BEC bribe taker? the $5000 extortion per contract at Ministry of Housing? Vision? If they could find any of those we might be ok..

Lol. Well we know that's not going to happen. Crooks are not going to implicate nor indict themselves. The government doesn't want freedom of information nor any anti-corruption system in place because they know that it would undoubtedly expose their criminal practices.

they should see if the satellite could find our leader

Or what about NASA tracking all of those Haitian sailboats who are able to sail past Exuma and reach Nassau and even reach Abaco and what about tracking the RBDF new boats and the Dominican fishing vessels...................... LOL

With reference to Cuba as a tourist destination that will attract the US market I can only say that it is only a matter of time before the average Cuban who works for $20 a month (or less) will demand more from a thriving economy boosted by tourism. At present the best paid workers are the "jineteras" while everyone else is, as I was told in no uncertain terms many years ago while in the country, "muriendo de hambre": dying of hunger. Once tourism takes hold there will be many changes and the satellite map of Cuba will gradually reflect the massive building projects that will inevitably take place all over that large and historically interesting island.

Then if Christie is really serious maybe he can get his head out of the sand and deal with the waste burning at the dump!!! Pious idiot! Killing us all with this crap poison in the air!

I can only assume that everyone making negative comments here has already left.

We're back and forth.
We work abroad and in the Bahamas.

I love this island!:) the water is absolutely beautiful. There is NOTHING that compares to peace of mind you get looking at beautiful water...*he leadeth me beside the still waters*

Politics is another matter. Government is another matter. Need for infrastructural upgrades is another matter

Did you hear that a ufo appeared on the screen when nasa was doing. A live feed from the space station? They cut the broadcast and said they were having 'technical difficulties "

I wonder why I'm not surprised to hear this report. I'll break out my tin foil hat
