I love weather satellites. Does anyone know how GOES-R compares to Japan's Himawari-8?

Also, looking at what these things can do it makes me wonder what the capabilities of the military/spy-sats are. I guess I'll find out in 30 years or so :)

I worked on a system for the WMO that contains virtually all the weather satellites. The Himawari-8 detail page is here: http://www.wmo-sat.info/oscar/satellites/view/167
