Sounds like Zuma failed to zoom.

Somehow this sounds someway related to the odd “faring issues” that delayed the launch.

Don’t be too quick to decide that. I’ve seen them come back to life.

Aren’t top secret spy satellites supposed to be stealthy and quiet? Maybe it’s just laying low for a while to trick us into thinking it was Loser.
To: mrsmith
Yes, it could be misinformation. SpaceX has indicated that their hardware worked as planned.

There are so many backups on satellites that I find this hard to believe. If it exploded then maybe, but many many many small transmitters have their own small power supply that they would be hearing telemetry from some of them. So, grain of salt time.

Sounds like a good cover story for a top secret payload to me...
To: SunkenCiv
If it’s secret, maybe that’s why there’s a ‘blackout’ and everything is fine.
But, it does involve Musk, so it’s got that going against it.

Sounds like deep cover to me.
The SV has to remain dormant to make detection of its position difficult.
Note that you havent heard any of this crap from the hobby “listener” community.

We have more than 50 of them up there that make no noise ‘most’ of the time.
When we need them, all you’ll pick up is the “hand shake” before they begin to alter their position.

All I need to know is who is reporting that it’s dead. If it’s CNN or MSNBC, then we know what’s going on.

Apparently they didn't study the
theme song enough before launch.
