"Wow! Cool!
Trump now has control of large meteors!
And I thought it would take a while before Trumps Space Force would become operational!"
If that's Sedan Crater, it was made with one of our nuclear weapons test shots at the Nevada site. Nice, huh.
As for equipment in space, that has been in progress since the '80s at the latest. I lost count of launches for that a very long time ago. Quite a few of those launches were done with the Political Correctness Affirmative Action Shuttles, by the way (boom). Appropriate cover, eh?

No, it is Meteor (Baringer) Crater in Arizona.

The Russians and Chinese know about pretty much anything we lift to orbit. Funny thing about secrecy is that it is often only secret to the citizens who pay for the fun stuff. I never understood the point of secret efforts when our enemies are fully aware of them. What's the point of the secrecy then?
Example, if we had a two man space station up there for a long time, all the space powers (and most of the non powers) certainly know about it.
