and now super secret (no talkie talkie) makes it no more webcast

that was an interesting launch

when do we get the landing footage?

And well have to start another thread to explain why super secret rockets are not observed reaching orbit.

Yeah the CBC looked pretty roasted there.

That insulation sure didn't last long after ignition. But I guess they didn't need the weight.

Odds are that this fairly routine NRO mission won't go way off into the weeds like Zuma did.

If ZUMA went in the weeds.

i have yet to see any evidence of a failure. Unnamed sources leaking failure on a payload that nominally doesn’t exist seems convenient.

I think he was talking about chitter-chatter not Zuma's performance. The weeds being collective odds of the curious and confused.

I was referencing the discussion of Zuma rather than the actual payload. @PB666 is correct here and I apologize if my metaphors are too vague sometimes.

That's pretty awesome stuff, posting from the future like that.

(I don't know why, but when I viewed this in one browser it said it came from Jan 16, 2018. When I view it in another browser it says Jan 15, 2018.)

Cold? like really cold?

For down here, yes... 30's tonight here and there both... even colder inland... I've got all my plants covered. 

But it's supposed to be sunny tomorrow, so besides being cold, the weather looks to be good for tomorrow evening.
