August 10th, 2019: Rocket's Red Glare
AT 6:13 AM, Thursday, August 8, this 200 ft rocket took off from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 41, with 2.5 million lbs thrust.
Probably worried complex 51 might be invaded. This rocket carried the AELF-5 for military communication, “encryption, low probability of intercept and detection, jammer resistance and the ability to penetrate the electro-magnetic interference caused by nuclear weapons”. Yup, getting ready for Trump’s war. Quote:

Let's hope there is enough oversight and competition that this doesn't turn into the military contracts nightmare, see F-35.

But but that's the American way, free enterprise is never free.
