AFAIK, sound can be recorded using laser reflections on windows, but not I imagine from space, where there would be too much atmospheric interference. I also imagine that single glazing would help.

Not only that, but there needs to be some way to detect the bounced beam -- implying a ridiculous degree of accuracy in the placement of the satellite, the smoothness of the glass, and the strength of the laser.

Even more important; the speed of the things :)

This is why much of the satellite "intel" you see in films is pretty bunk.
