Today was a test fire of a falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX is sending a top secret govt spy satellite on sunday.
There are about 190 govt/military satellites in orbit compared to about 300 of all commercial. I heard your country is not socialist. You are bringing up a big brother.

290 govt/military satellites
My bad
What?
What part you don't understand?
Nah, those satellites aren't for spying on the USA, they are for spying on YOU!
Of course a spy satellite's time is much too valuable to be wasted on anything but other state actors.
I can't follow your train of thought.
>satellite launch for government hardware
>there's a bunch of government satellites in orbit
>your country isn't socialist
>you're bringing up a big brother (inviting totalitarianism?)
I don't know what military satellites have to do with socialism or authoritarian policy. Besides, the NRO has had satellites more powerful than the Hubble for decades, and satellite imagery isn't the only tool for a surveillance operator nor is it the most important. This wouldn't be a drastic step in any direction.
That enormous amount of money required to put as many satellites out there as the ones, that pay for themselves. And you don't even know what exactly are they used for. You have no access.
You say, you don't want more taxes, that govt should be "smaller". You don't want to pay for parasites of society that do not work. Yet you spend your money for a gigantic machine to control you.
Total control. Inside and outside. You and me.
Also a SpaceX thread ;^)
What does this specific spy satellite do? Why mention this one out of the other 190 ones?

Yeah, that doesn't mean I agree with it. I'm not the federal government, I just agree to live under their laws. Can you go back to please?
No reason other than it's this one this week.
Or maybe this one is somehow important? How would we know, it's top secret.
