SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Dec. 22, 2017
I got too excited and forgot to put the rest in
>On Friday, December 22nd at 5:27 p.m. PST, SpaceX's Falcon 9 successfully lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, carrying the Iridium-4 mission to orbit. This was the fourth set of 10 satellites in a series of 75 total satellites that SpaceX will launch for Iridium’s next generation global satellite constellation, Iridium® NEXT.
HRC was supposed to be president so she could stop bragging about 9/11 and start bragging about WW3
Boeing isn't giving SpaceX the tech needed for the guidance system so Musk and friends were building a new satellite network to guide missiles and used the guise of a failed satellite telephone business
I suppose no one, that's why they called this new generation "Z"
Current guidance system use the GPS network but the clocks on each satellite are out of synch to keep others from using it to guide missiles. A new satellite network (Iridium) would be a great front to install a similar system for private missile guidance systems (SpaceX)
great news, thank you Q
Hmm, as of 2016 Iridium had 66 satellites in low-earth-orbit and spaceX launched 4 with 6 more to go, but states there will be 75 in total. Did one of the satellites go missing?

Loss of Falcon vehicle today during propellant fill operation. Originated around upper stage oxygen tank. Cause still unknown. More soon.

Update Jan 2, 2017
>The accident investigation team worked systematically through an extensive fault tree analysis and concluded that one of the three composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) inside the second stage liquid oxygen (LOX) tank failed. Specifically, the investigation team concluded the failure was likely due to the accumulation of oxygen between the COPV liner and overwrap in a void or a buckle in the liner, leading to ignition and the subsequent failure of the COPV.

This is wrong, each Falcon 9 is carrying 10 satellites for a total of 75 new ones, I guess the existing 66 are going to be mothballed
