Re-posting from the old thread; re: most recent Q drop. Sounds like "We have it all".

It appears Ascension Island has had some major "restricted" work done on it since 2019.

"The Target Tracking Radar Station was a Nike Zeus test facility for tracking reentry vehicles from Cape Canaveral missile launches. Built from 1960-1961 for anti-ballistic missile measurement, the "Golf Ball" radar antenna was on Cat Hill, and a collimation tower for radar calibration was towards English Bay.[14] The facility is home to the Detachment 2 of the 45th Mission Support Group, part of the U.S. Space Force's Delta 45. It operates a ground tracking station in support of the Eastern Range and rocket launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.[15]"

Not sure about the advisability of building your infrastructure on top of a volcanic cinder cone!

Ascension Island isn't the middle of nowhere but you can see the middle of nowhere from there.

In case you ever wanted to know where the REAL middle of nowhere is, it is Point Nemo. Point Nemo is officially known as “the oceanic pole of inaccessibility,” or the point in the ocean farthest from land. Located at 48°52.6’S 123°23.6’W, the spot is quite literally the middle of nowhere, surrounded by more than 1,000 miles of ocean in every direction.
