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.
Have link? I'd like to order the nice picture of Penthagon (White House is an option) in a _really_ good quality  |
