The U.S. National Reconnaissance Office launched a new spy satellite Thursday evening on mission NROL-39 -- and the new logo and tagline are quite an eye opener.
The new logo features a giant, world-dominating octopus, its sucker-covered tentacles encircling the planet while it looks on with determination, a steely glint in its enormous eye. The logo carries a five-word tagline: Nothing is beyond our reach.

NROL-39 is represented by the octopus, a versatile, adaptable, and highly intelligent creature.
It is also spineless
Orwell would be proud.
or very worried.
In your face irony. Gotta love it.
I must adamit - I have not heard of the NRO. I wiki’d it. Small Agency.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reconnaissance_Office
3,000 employees. $10 Billion budget.
wait, you mean this isn’t parody?
So why this NRO?
Isn’t this what the CIA and NSA are for?
Steely-eyed? Looks pretty comical to me.
And we used to joke about all your base belong to us. So quaint....
My son worked there over the summer as an intern from West Point. He like it, but couldn’t tell us any details or he would have had to kill us.
When he called home during the stint I always asked him “if he was having fun trampling on our 4th amendment rights.” He chuckled but never responded.
Is this a joke?
Ooops. I think they left the 0bama ‘O’ logo off of that ‘O’ctopus.
Link this with the singularity theory about when the machines can act independently and make decisions and you have new kind of new world order.
For years until recently, the NRO denied its existence or where any of their buildings were.
I don’t have words to describe what that image does to me. I bet this won’t be anywhere on the MSM. It would scare people into thinking what their government is doing.
wow,just wow....
National RECONNAISSANCE Office. They are HEAVY into spy satellites of the ‘KH’ kind.
Electric Eye - Judas Priest
Up here in space
I’m looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you’ve private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I’m watching all the time
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I’m elected electric spy
I’m protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can’t feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don’t know I’m there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There’s nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I’m made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
Protected. Detective. Electric eye
NRO = Not Real, Okay?
