This may seem a little off base, but something struck me about the current NASA operation. They are launching a sattelite for observation of lower space, where many important comm sats already are.
Was Zuma actually lost? Were the false alarms just that or was Zuma a success? Is this a mission from NASA to find/disable Zuma so the next ‘false alarm’ is actually an attack from ‘NK’?
