If it’s so secret, why do we know about it?

Kind of hard to hide the launch when it lights up the sky...you think they should fix that?

The payload is believed to be an electronic eavesdropping satellite with a huge collecting antenna.

Launched on orders from Jay Rockefeller to keep an eye on Fox News.
