How come when India, Russia, China et al launch a recon bird, it is labeled “an imaging satellite” while a US vehicle with the same mission is labeled “a spy satellite” – even by BtB ?

Thank you Mr Zimmerman, in my defense I do things other than read your blog.

O/T but I see Rocket Lab is to launch what must be an updated model of R2D2 into orbit for DARPA.
