"Nobody has said the image quality is poor. Just that we cant seem to find what they pick up.....
Mate, the US satellites could pick up a wart on your willy....but probably wouldnt let you know they saw it."
I said the image quality is poor, but that may be just a lower resolution image for our benefit.
Satellites are capable of reading a text message on your phone, (so are the cctv cameras around cities as well), and I do find it very hard to believe which part of the world the satellite is viewing can't be pinpointed to an exact location.
