Top Secret Satellite Launches From Space Coast Tonight

[Divine Discontent]

<snip>
The exact nature of the satellite has been kept very secret. No federal agency has laid claim to ownership.

The launch window runs from 5:35 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Tuesday night. Watch it LIVE on News 13 when it happens.

1. Ah, the Patriot launch. Domestic surveillance comes home to roost.

we must take away your freedoms in order to preserve them.

[rd_kent]

3. Huh?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. just a guess of what it might hold - a domestic surveillance satellite

[rd_kent]

10. Couldn't ALL surveillance satellites be used "domestically"?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. depends on the orbit.

[rd_kent]

17. And you know what orbit it will have?

My point is, you have no idea what the thing will be used for and your post was uninformed, ignorant and inflammatory.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. frankly, the ignition will be far more inflammatory.

The first stage will be truly hot.

[rd_kent]

23. Hehe. Clever. You win!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. Actually, I suspect that we lose.

[Ian David]

2. It's the satellite we will use to track the kids who skipped Obama's speech. n/t

[zogtheobvious]

12. Ah, well that's a relief...

...I thought it was going to be an orbiting station where the death panels would take place....

[dbonds]

4. Finally my plan is taking shape.

[liberal N proud]

5. You weren't supposed to tell

It was top secret

[Divine Discontent]

13. well I just blew that secret... lol

[brendan120678]

6. That's an Atlas V rocket...

my company makes lots of parts that go into those.

[Aragorn]

7. so tell us

which parts are secret?

[brendan120678]

8. I don't know what the payloads are...

just what makes the rocket work.

[BlueJazz]

14. I believe it has something to do with this >>

[peacetalksforall]

15. You know those last miles on a Google search that are all blurry - this is

probably for clarity for the purposes of the Poindexter database - it will be able to view the sun-bather in the back yard with the top or bottom off and right through to basements and under the sink cabinets and it will check battery efficiency as well. Everything about us will be in their databases according to who we are? Oh wait - Bush and Poindexter are gone. Guess they are not gathering any more data now. (I wish I could know what's so secret about it - maybe there will be a meet-up with the occupants of a few UFO's to discuss what the most appropriate punishment will be if we continue to destroy our earth planet).

16. "Say your name...

Try to speak as clearly as you can.
You know everything gets written down.
Nod your head.
Just in case they could be watching.
With their shiny satellite."

[Nihil]

26. "Turn it up ...

Listen to the shit they pump into
Your head
Filling you with apathy ..."

:yourock:

[Soylent Brice]

28. thanks!

i pondered last night whether or not anyone would get that.

i am the Great Destroyer.

lol

side note: i was listening to "Capital G" on the way to work.

[winyanstaz]

18. Is this the one that can nuke us from space? or Lazar us? or um mm

Tazer us? Why can't we know what our tax dollars paid for? This is ridiculous.

[Canuckistanian]

19. It's an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator

With technology stolen from this person:

[windoe]

20. Oh good we get to watch a secret rocket taking off.

How exciting, we must be so insignificant not to even deserve a cover story. It's secret, and give us more tax money. so we can do what we want.

Boy it used to be that they would call it a communications satellite, or scientific research--something.

[Divine Discontent]

25. WFTV changed their tune when reporting it, they were told to tell us that it was TRULY a

communications satellite - but wouldn't say for what part of the govt.

[sofa king]

29. Oh, that could be.

NRO and NSA both employ "communications" satellites that intercept communications. If it were a low-level photographic satellite, it would probably be launched from Vandenberg AFB. The ones going out to geosychronous orbit, or the stranger very high altitude orbits they sometimes use, benefit from the more southerly location of the Florida site.

There is, however, another possibility. The Bush Administration hit NASA hard with a secret crash program that was obviously a front for a military technology (and the entire moon business was probably also a front for it, too, which would explain why the moon thing ain't happening). Some, including myself, have conjectured that it is a kinetic bombardment system along the lines of Project Thor. You can't hide in a mountain if you can turn the mountain into a crater of magma. The higher the orbit, the more energy imparted to the weapons when they are de-orbited.

[earcandle]

21. stupid shit

[Lagomorph]

24. Van Jones has left the building...

[imdjh]

30. Clearly, it's a suppository.

[Festivito]

31. Just keep silent about project X.

Although we could use less silence these days.
