That way it was a bunch of little budget items spread all over the place rather than one big one. If you ask me that Air force unmanned shuttle is a glorified ICBM. They send it up with a 50 megaton payload and it lays in the weeds until needed. With no launch to detect and only re-entry to pick up on, it can be on target and detonated in probably less than 10 minutes. Not long enough to get Putin out of bed to answer the phone. |

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. so usa can launch them but not north korea or anyone else.Who does usa think it is?Soon they wont exist when God punishes them. Judgmenthasbegun. |

Kerwin User ID: 2034108 United Kingdom 04/04/2012 04:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A new Delta IV configuration has made its first flight Tuesday, carrying the NROL-25 payload for the United States National Reconnaissance Office. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 6 at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California was on schedule at 23:12 UTC (16:12 local time). Whilst its mission is officially classified, NROL-25 is believed to be the second in a series of new radar imaging satellites, developed as part of the NRO’s Future Imagery Architecture programme. The first such satellite, USA-215, was launched in September 2010 by an Atlas V rocket, and is believed to be operational. The FIA Radar, or FIA-R, satellites are replacements for the Lacrosse or Onyx satellites launched between 1988 and 2005. more at link...
