Just Watched the Falcon 9 ZUMA Launch From My House // Mission Was a FAIL // Space X Claiming Success // WTF is Going On ? (news)

submitted ago by Oh_Well_ian

Seen them countless times because I live 14 miles from the Cape. The booster returned but the second stage did not burn. It was LIGHTS OUT at separation. The rocket took a very steep trajectory, at least 20 degrees to vertical from normal. Rocket went dark at the end of first stage and the booster could be seen. Sonic boom confirmed on booster re-entry, but no way satellite could have been deployed. A very bizarre phenomenon when compared to all prior launches.

I know VOAT hates reddit, but really, go here, https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/7oqjf0/rspacex_zuma_official_launch_discussion_updates/ and do a little research and gain just a little knowledge. It was a secret payload, 2nd stage did light and burn normally https://i.redd.it/8jkukgakvq801.jpg (in the picture you can actually see the 1st stage launch and boostback burn, along with the reentry and landing burns, along with THE SECOND STAGE BURN AFTER SEPERATION), and on all secret payload missions, video coverage of the second stage is purposefully blacked out, hence the "secret" payload term.

No... you're wrong. I'm giving you a FIRST HAND account of the launch. I am not talking about the feed from Space X.

There was NO SECOND STAGE BURN.

Again, look at the time-lapse picture, the second stage burn started on time and continued to fire over the horizon as advertised. Regardless of your telephoto eyes, only a long exposure still image could show and see the second stage burn.

Please, go back to reddit and call names. r/conspiracytheory may be a good place to start. SpaceX had mission success, what happened to the ZUMA satellite we will never know. Perhaps you may want to peruse what SpaceX's COO stated about its rockets mission success, http://spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=52053 Calm down, you are way too young to be shouting such obscenities, now go wash your mouth out with soap.
