Waspie_Dwarf Posted December 6, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Spy Guy in the Sky in my opinion !@@ Yes so you say every time there is a post about it and every time I point out your opinion is not supported by experts or by facts. Imaging spy satellites need what is effectively a large telescope in order to take detailed images. In fact the KH12 spy satellites are the size of the Hubble. It is a fundamental principle of optical systems that for resolution you need a larger mirror or lens. There is no way around this. Now as I've explained to you before, the thing about the X-37B is it is little. Spy satellites need to be big. X-37B is little. Can you still not see the problem here? Of course you are entitled to your opinion but an opinion is worthless when it is contrary to the facts.
