Dude doesn’t understand that spy satellites aren’t really very useful if everyone knows and also know it’s trajectory.

There’s a long history of photo fuckery and disinformation with satellites. So long as you know it’s trajectory and speed you know the interval and location it’s going to come across and then you can hide it manipulate. It’s why keyhole and Corona satellites were so useful.

The US used to paint fake planes onto runways so the Soviets would think we had an absurd amount of planes in development. The source I know of is paywalled now, I’m have to find another but it’s kinda interesting honestly.
