You make me wonder what all the maps and satellite images used for Google Earth cost. That would be something worth having. But as far as I know this stuff is so expensive that a more sensible approach might be to ask: what resolution and age could we get for say $10 million? Not much, I suspect, because it's expensive enough without a right to sublicense.
