I wonder how long until you can buy the ability to aim a satellite using your phone and take just the picture — with the exact resolution — that you want. Not if but when....
the resolution is hard limited by satellite size, and there's no reason to aim when you can just deploy enough to cover everything.
kind of true but it's also orbit positioning VLEO can have much better image quality than LEO if comparing apples to apples. There is a cost and that cost is atmospheric friction and energy use which can degrade the satellite faster
