But far from real-time. I think the gov't doesn't want recent hi-res satellite images out there.

didn't we just release 28 new satelites that will take images once a second, traveling at five miles a second?

We have things out there.

Also I get the real time thing, I do. But I think if we can take these clear images, it's obvious we can film them as well.

If that is the concern.
The US has how many satellites? I know 24 for GPS alone. I can't imagine the spy sat number.
