Sweet! NASA and Raytheon nail it again!

Awesome once again, a well done job by everyone and to all the science geeks I can hardly wait for the children around the world to follow in your footsteps with the satellite system giving all of us a closer look at the big (weather/Eco) picture. Thank you

Whatever, it's been stated that they can possibly use that technology to "steer" hurricanes. Tampering with mother nature isn't a good idea.

@Watunk ... stated just like a good conspiracy theorist should. Hooray for the "scientifically uninformed," once again! So you think that something (HAARP) on the scale of 1 billion-trillionth that of an average natural magnetospheric/ionospheric aurora is going to create some "freaky weather?" @AreYouHappyYet mentioned doomsday nuts ... I got your nut right here!

[Watunk]

Now they can monitor the destruction they are causing with the HAARP/Bluebeam tests. Watch for some real freaky weather in the next couple months.

Hello spy

[garrettej8]

I want to see HD video from a camera, 70 miles up or so, for a 12,000mph rocket flyby lol

[Stefan Stefanovski]

How was the flight filmed? From where, with what kind of camera and how come it never zoomed in or out?

[Amy R]

Fantastic!

[AreYouHappyYet]

watch some doomsday nut take a video of this and call it nibiru or elenin lmao.
