In 1975, it was touted that a satellite could read the headline of a newspaper in Red Square.
Next, they have the other secret satellites, WAY better than the 1975 version, plus a few other planes like the Aurora, maybe a lot better? But I am not privy to those.
Well. I am not privy to any of it; it's just public information.

Yea, that is BS, and not possible through miles of atmosphere. And in 1975 they had to use film. We fly most of our aerial projects at 4,000 feet and can resolve a 2 centimeter pixel. So something on the ground 2 CM is visible as a single pixel with no detail.
At a 2 cm resolution humans are just a blob and the shadow is what lets us know it is a human.
The read the newspaper in Red Square was just to rile up the Russians.
