sub 0.5 meter res is hardly space based photo quality; they could count head hairs in the 60s and newer ones can tell the color of your eyes at night with overcast and rain

Not exactly — if you can find it in a library, read a book called Deep Black, and learn a LOT about the old Keyhole sat technology. or buy it — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0425108791/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_B9DVEbE7SGRG2

There were rumors on the best days you could discern shoulder boards/ rank of officers. But pretty sure that was just rumor.

This SAR is 3D, .5 meter resolution at night, overcast. It’s going to be very useful tracking particular vehicles. Now we can drone target 24/7 anywhere when IR isn’t available or crispy enough.
