Source: Satellite imagery, Belt settler documentation
Date: January-October 2057
Locations: Multiple Belt settlements (exact coordinates protected)
PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF HABITATION
Satellite Imagery Reveals:
- Permanent structures: 300+ buildings across documented settlements
- Agricultural land: Cultivated fields totaling 2,000+ acres
- Infrastructure: Roads, water systems, power generation (solar/wind)
- Population indicators: Thermal imaging shows continuous human presence
- Expansion: Year-over-year growth indicates thriving communities
Ground Photos Show:
- Families living in Belt settlements
- Children playing outdoors (not dying of contamination)
- Food production, livestock raising

If the Belt was "uninhabitable," these communities couldn't exist. But they do. For years. Thriving.
