That said, 36 inches seems like an arbitrary threshold. We can see some satellites naked-eye, and others not at all. Who's to say that the ones we're not supposed to see become visible in 36" or larger telescopes?

Perhaps the detailed required to determine which are space based weapons platforms onlycomes with large apeture.

And re the other interpretation, which I believe to be more relevant than the first; it will depend on the size of your wifes shoe collection. There must be a formula for telescope apeture/shoe space. I was kicked out of the walk in closet early on in my marriage, now I have a shed for all scope related activities
