“Sure. Believe what you want.”

We already have satellites in low earth orbit that can see the brand name of the shoes you have on. L2 is 3 times farther than the moon. Hardly an ideal place to monitor events on Earth.

You don't send spy satellites beyond the orbit of the moon to look at earth.

And you may do so as well. What can this telescope accomplish in the way of surveillance that can't be done more easily and far more cheaply by satellites in earth orbit?

Military satellites could count the hairs on your head in the late 60s

The telescope can only see red shifted light, as that is what we get from the deep cosmos. It also is so sensitive that pointing it at something as bright as the Earth would blow out its optics.

It can’t focus on earth. It would be like you looking at your feet through high-powered binoculars. Also, it is viewing infrared.
