Higher than what? They already have satellites that can tell what brand of cigarette someone is smoking. Even the civilian access ones will give me a really nice picture of my house and backyard as if someone used a camera hanging 100 feet over my house.

In russia there is a site that will schedule you into their satellites and sell you (couple hundred dollars) a REALLY good picture of anyplace you want.
