This the 64 satellite rocket? There was a measly 13 satellite rocket launched from the Pacific one or two days ago...piker.

Nope, that was the last SpaceX launch a couple of weeks ago, also from Vandenburg.

Cheers.

Oh, this the one where we send the head Cheeto to outer space so he can be the ruler of his own universe? MAGA! (May Abolish Gravity Altogether)

it's a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Organization, so it's probably a KH-12 (KeyHole) satellite that can take a close picture from space. It's so detailed it can single out Road Runner poop and tell you what seeds you've been eating.

That's what I said...put Cheeto in orbit and let him rail about the universe being so black.
