There's no reason, then, that microwaves at perhaps 10GHz can't be
focused into a beam (or at least a spot) of perhaps 300mm, which
easily covers the surface of any general aviation or fighter or bomber
aircraft several times.

Antennas are reciprocal. So why don't we have radio astronomy antennas that
can give as good resolution as the Hubble telescope?


They do, and maybe even better, given the wavelength of the incident
radiation. :-)

BTW, this is another reason to put bases on the moon and stations at
LL4 and/or LL5 - Very Long-Base Interferometry. :-)

And imagine the accuracy we could get with a Mars parsec! ;-)

If we got rid of the idiotic space station, and dumped the Shuttle
program and its replacement, we could afford to do a lot of serious
science.
