To emphasize on this: WorldView 4, which has ~31cm pan imagery came to a cost of about $850M. And is the size of a school bus. Vs the significantly smaller and less expensive stalites Planet uses. And unfortunately that stallite had a failur and only was usable for a bit over 2 years. High res satellites are really hard still.
