"The largest rocket ever launched from the West Coast blasted off Thursday with a classified defense satellite on board. The 235-foot-tall Delta IV Heavy Launch Vehicle lifted off at 1:10 p.m. from Vandenberg Air Force Base, carrying a payload for the National Reconnaissance Office."

This payload was kept top secret. Why is that? What are they doing? Was it a rocket with a spy satellite? Considering it was a fucking large rocket, could it be filled with some form of explosives to hit an in-bound object headed toward us?

Questions, that require answers.
