SpaceX launch of classified satellite NROL-108

Launch window is from 9 am to 12 pm eastern. I'm headed out now to try to film the launch. hopefully I'll catch some good footage if the weather allows. The first stage booster will be returning for a landing at LZ-1 which we haven't had in a while. I dare anyone who thinks these landings are fake to come out to the cape and see it for themselves by eye.

Apparently they are loosening the requirement for that for some of the reused boosters. This booster has been used several times and apparently has a clean bill of health.

One day they will reveal the secret technology they used to live-stream a color tv signal from the moon in real time in 1969.

It will only take a few hundred trillion dollars more.

Technology used to transmit TV images from the moon is not classified. In fact, the sequential color cameras used to achieve color images are quite primitive technology by today's standards. As for the radio transmission of signals from that distance, you can calculate the link budget and it's really not that hard if you have giant radio telescopes.

Ass-trophysics is not a science, because it doesn't follow the Scientific Method.
