Okay, there is something very disturbing about this.

This project began as what I call a black budget project. It is financed through the federal budget in a non disclosed manner. So the numbers are on the budget, but what the money is allocated to is not disclosed.

The point being, this was at one point considered a top secret mission.

The feat is, IMO, not really all that miraculous. It simply shows we have a self landing drone controlled satellite which can carry a small payload. Okay. Not that big of a deal until you take into account new weapons development in nuclear war heads. The new direction of nuclear weapons is to make them smaller, so you can just wipe out a city. Less deadly combines with a better engagement and occupation.

Now here is the disturbing part.

Fuck nut, and by that I refer to the Commander in Chief, is so concerned with the immortallity of his fucken reputation that to save his really bad idea of Space Force he has betrayed your security by announcing the success of this mediocre project!

This article comes off as an ad for space force.

War mongering outer space? Yeah, we should bomb that naughty little moon out there for being too dusty.. How about it's just for exploration? You know,, the last great frontier... Go where no man has gone before, etc. etc.. Calm down folks..

This explains a lot, including why Trumpty Dumpty started shouting on about "Space Force" and was quickly shut down on that one another
“Sir, there could be some merit in not discussing that.”

Still awesome accomplishment
