King Of Spy Satellites: Huge 68ft Device That Will Record Zoom-Able HD Video Of 40% Of Earth's The Surface SIMULTANEOUSLY -- Daily Mail

* Membrane Optical Imager for Real-Time Exploitation (MOIRE) uses a massive web of thin membranes instead of heavy lenses
* It is being developed by Pentagon's DARPA future weapons agency
* Satellite will have 68-foot lens - dwarfing Hubble, which is only eight feet

The Pentagon has designed a massive spy satellite that will dwarf any space telescope ever launched - and it point its sensitive lens back at us.

The Membrane Optical Imager for Real-Time Exploitation (MOIRE) will be capable of capturing 40percent of the surface of the Earth at once. It will be able to beam back real-time high-resolution video and images from anywhere in the world at any time.

The satellite is the brainchild of DARPA, the Pentagon agency tasked with developing the next generation of weapons and technology for the U.S. military.
