I never suggested that we could not. I said that a weather satellite would not, because a weather satellite is designed and used for looking at the weather, which happens in the atmosphere. Not to mention that the image displayed by the peurile USA Today article was a weather satellite image of cloud formations in the atmosphere, which confirmed my assertions.
