Is this real or fake new? Misdirection on behalf of the Trump administration? If real, the taxpayer takes another one up the a**.

Is this real or fake new? Misdirection on behalf of the Trump administration? These were my very first thoughts, also. There is a war going on, and we won't know most of its details until it's over.

According to Musk, he’s sending this same rocket to orbit the moon later on this year with humans on board... And considering that he and his company Tesla will soon be embroiled in civil and maybe even criminal actions before the courts, he will likely be the first volunteer.

We should have stuck with the Delta.
To: bkopto
Yes. From the reports it’s difficult to say whether the satellite was lost or they are just letting us to speculate for security reasons.

I would say misdirection. If it really failed there wouldn’t have been a peep about it.

Maybe intercepted by China or Russia??

That was a test deployment of the new General Electric Oven
To see how it holds up in the cold of space!

There have been rumors that this launch payload had something to do with N Korea.
It IS possible the launch went fine but they want to keep that info secret.
China and Russia, and perhaps others, have the radar tech to know what happened to the launch.
You can image a spacecraft easily using deep-space network assets like Arecibo or the Green Bank Telescope.
China has a dish similar to Arecibo but bigger.
These days even Ham radio enthusiasts can concentrate enough RF power on a target like the ISS to use it as a reflector for communication.
We have some very large NRO satellites in geo orbit now that can use a tight spot-beam to provide cell and internet coverage to a small country from space...but there is an annoying lag.

.... "An expensive, highly classified U.S. spy satellite is presumed to be a total loss after it failed to reach orbit" ... ...... Yup ..... Parsing the talking points meant for our enemies .... Sounds like the launch was a total success.

I watched the launch from a backyard in Orlando. It seemed to me that something went wrong in that there were too much pyrotechnics after the first stage shut down and dropped away. Second stage start-up always has high risk because the vibration and shock of the first stage ascent can damage a second stage and lead to launch failure.
To: bkopto
They bet it all and it was manned, and in the spirit of the old Soviet Union, we will never hear about it.
