There's also rules on launching a satellite with capabilities below 10m per pixel on the basis of national security. At least if you're an American company anyway, can't vouch for elsewhere but they're a bit behind the tech curve (at least in the private sector) in this field (but not by much) so it hasn't really come up yet as an issue so far. There was an image that Trump tweeted a satellite image about something in Iran a while back, I forget the actual reason. But it was a declassified image of something and some keen eyed observers did some analysis on it and concluded the resolution was better than what is "Officially" out there. So it's safe to say there's better out there that we just don't know about yet.

Rocket blew up on pad during launch.

Made me think of the movie "Enemy of the State" from 1998, and another action/sci-fi B-Movie from before 1980 which I can't remember the title anymore because forgettable, except of the FLIR inserts they made. Which were as good as anything you can personally buy today as private person. In a B-Movie! From before 1980! (Maybe even 1975/76) W-T-F? I really can't remember the title anymore, because "loading, looking, lösching!" (loading, watching, erasing)
