Can satellites see down your skylight?
You will get uninformed people who say no. However, the ultimate resolution of a spy satellite is good enough to see you naked from space. If fact, the operators of the Keyhole series of US orbital reconnaisance satellites exchange coordinates as to where the best nude beaches are. So smile. ---- True enough, but keep this in mind: The Keyhole Sats (of Enemy of the State fame) are mid-70s technology at best. So, brush your teeth too! :)
Ha do you belive every thing the stupid American government tells you patheltic it was to show that America was never a top dog at any thing well maybe sucking but any way the Americans belevied that they solely won WW2 but after that they finally saw the light so lesson taught don't belvie Americans for Christ sake
