[Deleted member 5115]

CAPE CANAVERAL — SpaceX sent a classified U.S. spy agency mission on its way to orbit Monday morning, then brought the rocket’s first stage home for a landing, possibly to fly again.

A 230-foot Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 7:15 a.m. ET, thundering northeast over the Atlantic Ocean with a U.S. National Reconnaissance Office mission labeled NROL-76.

Launched, deployed spy satellite and landed right back where it came from in about 11 minutes!

I can't find my drivers, Team BRG-Wong. Rumor is they are piloting this satellite....

We always make sure we wear our tin foil bags when in outer space, or Iowa,so we can be tracked by NASA.....
