SpaceX launched spy satellite for US gov't & landed the 1st stage of its rocket back on ground

SpaceX launched a spy satellite for the U.S. Department of Defense early Monday morning and then landed the first stage of its rocket back on solid ground.
The two-stage Falcon 9 rocket, carrying the classified NROL-76 satellite, lifted off at 7:15 a.m. EDT (1115 GMT) from historic Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the same pad that supported numerous Apollo and space shuttle launches, the company's live webcast showed.
About 10 minutes later, the rocket's first stage landed at SpaceX's Landing Zone 1, just south of the launch site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
SpaceX previously landed a first stage booster at Landing Zone 1 three times. It also successfully recovered Falcon 9 first stages from six missions at sea using the company's drone ships.
Few details have been released about NROL-76, a satellite designed, built and operated by the National Reconnaissance Office, a member of the U.S. intelligence community of an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense.
This launch has great symbolic significance for SpaceX, since it's the 15-year-old company's first mission for the Pentagon.

U.S department of Defence was originally called department of war. It still is, only in guise.

Nobody does it better, well done Space X. Would be nice to see the satellite too and what it can do but sure as secrecy can be manipulated to anything. With all the boring going on it might have some subsurface techtonic apparatus which would need to be corellative to magneto data and well conjuctive pass sweeps with known phenomenon and perhaps works well with Gracie data on relevant pyroclasts and hydrodynamic sputter. Or perhaps it just has a better cam. Pvt weaponising of space though isn't a good thing though for interstellar relations with the unmentionables, It probably doesn't have a death star style operational light amplified multi prism attack beam.
