The Flight Simulator community works very hard to improve the massively extendable Flight Simulator X system, and part of that includes creating better scenery to fly around in. The gold standard for flight simulator scenery is "Photoreal", where you lay pictures from satellites over geographic elevation data to make beautiful vistas and allows you to do things like navigate purely by following real world roads and landmarks. Unfortunately, freely available satellite imagery is often resolution as low as 30 meters per pixel, making low level flying a smeary, indistinguishable mess. This prompts the community to turn to reverse engineering Google and Microsoft APIs and breaking Terms of Service agreements in order to use their 0.3 meter per pixel images.
The part that angers me is that, as an American, my government has signed off on using potentially billions of dollars developing, deploying, and utilizing highly advanced imagery satellites, and likely can reach inches per pixel. Despite paying for all these satellites and their use, as well as a giant datacenter in Utah, I have no way of utilizing these photos.
I believe that free access to high resolution satellite imagery would be a public good, and many first world governments have the ability to create such a thing. They could easily distribute 0.2 meter per pixel images without compromising any sort of national security
