any idea what the ratio was on the past L.O. missions ?
On a typical Lunar Orbiter mission, the photographic system provided high-resolution pictures of 4,000 square miles of the Moon's surface with enough clarity to show objects the size of a card table.
The 1600 pictures captured in total by the five Lunar Orbiters using the ITT photographic system enabled photogrammetrists at NASA and the U.S. Government's Defense Mapping Agency to create accurate maps of the Moon's surface.

Now imagine that small flag that was left on the Moon, do you still expect to see it on satellite photos?

Rotate that picture correctly! Ofcourse that won't be done as that would render it useless
Launched in 1966 and 1967, all five missions Lunar Orbiter were successful. The missions collectively photographed 99% of the Moon's surface with a resolution of 60 m ground resolution or better. The first three missions, dedicated to imaging 20 potential Apollo landing sites, were flown at near equatorial orbits as close as 22 miles above the lunar surface. The fourth and fifth missions were devoted to broader scientific objectives, and were flown in high altitude polar orbits.

Well that's okay... can not please everyone
Perhaps worry less about artful presentation and a little sensationalism and pay attention to the facts. Nothing we have is not backed by original source to follow up on.

No I won't Besides that the full data on that is here, Aristarchus Crater Blue Gem but I doubt you will even look, your to busy dictating how I should do my site
BTW this one is from the color images taken by Clementine in 1994

Ummm are google map images not taken from a satellite?

In your limited world perhaps... but in mine I use Iknonos and they are definitely taken from space and have some pretty awesome detail

Very High Resolution Coverage
Concurrent with the global project effort is the task of digitizing and archiving many of the near-side, low altitude LO photography. LO mission III photographed areas primarily to locate and confirm suitable landing sites for the Apollo program (designated as primary (P) and secondary (S) sites). The most promising landing sites were certified during LO mission V, which also imaged a number of sites of scientific interest. Ground resolutions for both data sets ranged from 1 - 40 m.

Yes, but do you think (or have any example of it) that they can show a flag the size of the one that was left on the Moon?
The problem we have today with those photos is the fact that they are not in digital format, so they have to digitized them
