This is the post-fact era right summed up in a post.


What is it then
13222025, a rocket/missile/craft that delivered a payload of some sort

according to reports.

The country has never been about facts so to say "post facts" is inaccurate.
13222058, Stop it.

You do know the Red Cross had people believing black blood was “bad” right?

Why should anyone believe 100% of anything these institutions tell us?

Sabu

thats it
13222086, ok back on topic, you are aware the air force has a space drone
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Sat Dec-23-17 06:39 PM
that they have in almost constant orbit doing top secret "experiments"


they are completely upfront about it existing but refuse to say what its doing


we are well beyond the need for any kind of elaborate ruse, especially something involving private companies that live stream all their launches, its wholly unncessary

if "they" wanted to launch something secretly, they would just do it and tell us its a secret
13222205, Or not, or they could give some truth and some fiction
Posted by Atillah Moor, Mon Dec-25-17 12:13 AM
There’s no reason to have any real faith in these reports or whatever produces them

Of US organizations and authoritative sources?
13222211, Yeah what would a rich white guy know about his own rocket

you right
13222218, Doesn’t really matter. Elon has no reason to be honest or transparent

see the top secret space plane that the air force runs right in front of our faces with no explaination
13222244, doesn’t have to be elaborate. Tuskegee and Gulf of Tonkin were simple

they will literally just launch whatever they need into space and tell us not to worry about it, spacex does regular "classified" launches

SpaceX plans to launch the secret Zuma payload for the U.S. government this evening (Jan. 7), after a nearly two-month delay.

Zuma is scheduled to lift off atop a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station tonight between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. EST (0100 to 0300 GMT on Jan. 8). You can watch it live here at Space.com, courtesy of the company. You can also watch the liftoff directly from SpaceX's live webcast page here.

Sunday's launch will also include a landing attempt by the Falcon 9's first stage, which will come back down to Earth at Landing Zone 1, a SpaceX facility at Cape Canaveral. To date, SpaceX has pulled off 20 such first-stage landings, which are part of its push to develop fully and rapidly reusable rockets.

Zuma is a U.S. government spacecraft headed to low-Earth orbit. But that's pretty much all that outside observers know about it; everyone involved with the mission has remained pretty tight-lipped.

Sunday's launch was originally slated to take place in mid-November, but SpaceX stood down to investigate the results of payload-fairing testing done for another customer. (The payload fairing is the nose cone that protects a spacecraft during liftoff.)

The company then aimed to loft Zuma on Friday (Jan. 5) but ended up pushing things back by two additional days.

"Team at the Cape completed additional propellant-loading tests today," SpaceX representatives wrote on Twitter Thursday (Jan. 4). "Extreme weather slowed operations, but Falcon 9 and the Zuma spacecraft are healthy and go for launch — now targeting Jan. 7 from Pad 40 in Florida."

That rough weather was presumably linked to the "bomb cyclone" storm that has been battering the U.S. East Coast all week.

Zuma is the third classified launch for the U.S. government by SpaceX. In 2017, the company launched a secret spy satellite for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office and the X-37B robotic space plane on a classified mission for the U.S. Air Force.
