The most expensive, advanced, important spy satellite the US has ever launched was lost during a botched SpaceX launch. It was so highly classified, it is not even known which US agency paid for it and controls it. Elon Musk called it the most important thing they'd ever done.
SpaceX says its rocket performed perfectly. Some put the blame on Northrop Grumman, whomst developed the adapter holding the spy satellite to the rocket. They say the adapter never detached properly.
Of course, it's possible the thing is up there and this is just a cover story.
If this was a SpaceX error, they'd halt upcoming launches and review stuff.
Since they are not doing that, it must be assumed that either Northrop Grumman fucked up, or it's a cover story.
Jack Bailey
not that it really matters but i don't believe that launch was a failure and the continuing discussion about it is intriguing me
Hunter Martin
This is just like the time I lost my entire gun collection in a boating accident. Shit sucks.
Adam Jenkins
I've been telling you fuckers Musk was a deep state asset all along. But no. I'm sure you retards will believe this was just another (((accident))).
Ryan Hill
on a highly secretive mission like this, you literally can’t rely on anything that the government says. On more than one occasion, they have faked launch/orbit problems to try to put the Russians off the trail of a reconnaissance satellite that functioned flawlessly for years despite being reported as “lost” at launch.
- google the source faggot, i dont care

lost all mine spelunking in antartica, bummer

Some weird footage has been taken that is being called the "SpaceX launch"... youtu.be/uVwKNA-L2-A
Christian Fisher
SpaceX got bought by the Chinese, fake an accident. The satellite is in China now, Americunts take that!!!
William Morgan
it was a bolide
Lucas Mitchell
Wrong.
SpaceX first stage functioned flawlessly, successfully landed for reuse.
SpaceX second stage functioned flawlessly.
Any problem would have been with the Payload Adapter or the satellite itself - both of which were made by Northrop.
>it is not even known which US agency paid for it and controls it. >Of course, it's possible the thing is up there and this is just a cover story. So Epstein paid for a lolita satellite where elites can watch private pedo channels on encrypted frequency?
Hunter Parker
Same. One thing's for sure: the soyboy bugment journalists in the MSM pushing this story since last night have no clue.
Kayden Miller
Made in USA. Hahahahahah. Trump's meme of American ''''industry'''
Nicholas Lewis
Northrop made the separator that failed. Try again. The rocket worked fine.
Noah Murphy
Sheesh, all of these horrible gun stories. Mine got sucked into a sinkhole, gone forever

>failed like every other poojeet-build system
thats what you get for hiring "high-skilled" H1B poojeets
Jacob Reed
I didn't know intelligence agencies like to tell the world about their super secret spy satellites.
Jacob Brooks
Ii's owned by the Disinformation Agency. Which by the the way do not exists and also do not have satellites because the launch was a failure, so Zuma does not exists, ok? now move on
Andrew King
>>failed like every other poojeet-build system >thats what you get for hiring "high-skilled" H1B poojeets Couldn't have been built by H1Bs. This is so classified that even discussing it might violate ITAR. Non-citizens wouldn't even be allowed in the same building it was built.
John Gutierrez
My friend got an Tesla internship there, in their Fremont office. Basically all the engineers are h1b Indians, Asians, and some Bolshevik Russians, all the factory workers are chicans, all the executives are Indian or token White, and the website is obviously managed by Indian-Americans
Grayson Edwards
5G is here
David Rogers
This. This is all such bullshit. Why tell anyone it failed? They wouldn't have told anyone if it succeeded.
Brandon King
for example, most of nasa is asian now. the h1bs get their citizenship, but they still h1bs
and ventura dont give a fuck about cocaine commies nor pedos just saying so good luck now fuckers. who is laurel mcwaters, ashley haddad, how are they connected to denise trerotola and who is allen michalel haddad why did he have a safe room in his house in oxnard?

You too? I was boating in the keys, doing some fishing, boat capsized, lost all my guns. Saved my fishing rod and reel though.
Carter Ortiz
I guess it's much more common than people think.
Tyler Rodriguez
also Q was trained by multiple white rabbits he figured out so honestly best of fucking luck...im pre programmed to combat all your shit...that was the dark angel project, God forbid you actually see how many free-super-soldiers we pumped out of the 805 and other similar communities on out skirts of big urban populations. so you found one big deal and now we are in ever business, school, rrligious building etc. huh sort of like the FREEMASONS. yea i may have sat in Ben Franklins's chair too and walked the same halls as Washington ;)
William Brown
1. As if NRO will tell you the truth 2. Northrop-Grumman's fault, not SpaceX'
Cameron Gonzalez
This. Ignore the non-white turkish rape baby.
Dominic Sullivan
Even more so, because the only “evidence” of a fuck up comes from unsourced DoD staffers, it stands to reason the DoD wants China to believe Zuma is dead in orbit. Of course it is unlikely it is dead as it was inserted into the abdolutely correct orbit.
Brandon Gonzalez

Sebastian Kelly

Carson Bell
"Remember, you saw the second stage fail to deploy." (flashes badge) "And I was never here."
Benjamin Harris
>This. This is all such bullshit. Why tell anyone it failed?
Nobody will do so.
Anyway, lads, calm down. If it succeeded, the US has another weapon of mass destruction in orbit... if it failed, who cares, then it is just a few hundred million in taxpayer money wasted. Who cares?
Robert Price
link is wrong, zuma was a night launch, and stage one landing was at night also
Landon Reyes
does it go on pizza
Daniel Campbell
does the UK do launches?
Jackson Morales
Embarissing. US intelligence was destroyed perhaps for all time with Obama 8 years. Going from bush years NSA collects all to now with agents defecting daily are gay work against American interests and everything they do every mistake is Fucking mainstream news...
Liam Turner
The UK built the lipstick rocket.
Caleb Wilson
>spy satellite eehh goys, we totally just lost the satellite sooo no need to look for it right ? :^) btw fuck spaceX right? Even if it's wasn't their job to mount the satellite on the rocket. fuck drumpf xDDD
Adrian Anderson
Eeehehh goys we totally wanna tell you we lost something you didn't know we was launching anyway hehehehehe
10d chess or what.
They fucked up and fucked up even more telling anyone. CIA is a fucking embarsment these days. Obviously any One qualified and skilled is long gone. Probably an agency of women and retarded monkeys these days.
Alexander Baker
I feel you. Goverment found my bunker and cleared it out :/
>will never own a mg42 again
Austin Foster
Sometimes, but it's too Moe for that
Gabriel Kelly
The satellite it's in orbit and Elon got a new contract.
Stop being dumb.*
Sebastian Perez

Evan Jones
It fell in my patio and I have hidden it behind the barbaque
Levi Baker
>The satellite it's in orbit and Elon got a new contract.
Elon Musk personally gets launch contracts?
Why are Musk fanboys such strange people. SpaceX is just a orbital rocket company and spacecraft contractor. That market is a very small market. Then the e-car market, it again is rather small but very crowded. Both SpaceX and Tesla are highly unprofitable and are banking on sweeping the market which is unlikely to happen.
Owen Jones
>Private corp. fucks up extremely advanced public funded project costing millions if not billions of tax dollars. >Lolbertarians on suicide watch.
Luke Sanchez
billions in cost has been confirmed
Daniel Ward
>Elon Musk personally gets launch contracts? You jelly?
Ethan Richardson
I thought this fucker was based
Jaxson Foster
If I paid somebody to put up a spy satellite I'd totally get them to say that they lost it whether they did or not.
Christopher Russell
So he personally gets launch contracts?
Colton Jackson
Private? Elon Musk is the arch-example of state financed oligarch.
James Bell
I watched the launch and the landing of the first stage etc looks like it went fine. Is this fake news?
Yes I've seen the news, but if it had failed to seperate from the second stage we'd have known before the first stage landed.
Angel Parker
No, some low ranking government staffers leaked that the sat is toast. But then conspiracy theorists say the staffers are talking shit.
We’ll never know.
Thomas Taylor
>Yes I've seen the news, but if it had failed to seperate from the second stage we'd have known before the first stage landed.
it is a secret gov payload. How should you know? SpaceX just said the launch was nominal. That can be true, that cn be half true, that can be wrong. Most importantly, they did not say a piep about the payload.
Andrew Baker
They livestreamed the launch
Easton Gutierrez
It is also in Spaceflight.com
Luis Baker
>But the spacecraft apparently did not separate as it was supposed to from the upper stage of the rocket and did not reach a stable orbit,
Fake news, fake click bait title. The rocket performed nominally. The payload adapter and separation mechanism is from Northrop Grumman. But I guess it would generate less drama than saying SpaceX failed.
Mason Reyes
So? How does lifestreaming show whether the payload works?
Elijah Edwards
>whomst Holy Jesus. These whom / hast contractions are way too progressive for me. A simple "whom" would've worked.
Liam Brown
I never claimed the payload works Merkel wtf is your problem why are Germans so anal
Oliver Rogers
If I can scry it, it isn't really fair fampai :^)
Henry Hughes
It's harder to find the truth when people come up with 1000 theories on what happened and where it is.
Julian Roberts
How is a launch a success if the payload doesn’t work. You see the problem, right? Payloads are checked out pre launch and work, If they don’t work in orbit, it is kind of a problem.
Liam Flores
I'd be careful with taking these news as absolute truth. I think the spread bs about that satellite, so people think it failed and so the whole news about it dies down. I'm pretty certain it's up there, working properly.
Blake Smith
...
Adam Ross
>grammar nazi You shouldn't've grounds to care.
Noah Brown
It's a failure, it's just not SpaceX's failure.
Brayden Thomas
Are you retarded?
>It's a failure, it's just not SpaceX's failure.
If it is a failure, you have no way to say who is to blame. Could be the vibration environment exceeding specs, might be the separator, might be anything. There is no way to know if SpaceX or LM is to blame or if eveything works with Zuma.
Tyler Brooks
>Elon Musk called it the most important thing they'd ever done. >Elon Musk called it the most important thing they'd ever done.
he should be shot and be in a hospital, is elon a literal nigger for saying this statement.
