“SpaceX Rocket Launches Secret Government Payload”

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched a top secret U. S SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched a top secret U.S. government payload into orbit, while returning its first-stage booster to the ground for reuse. The Falcon lifted off at 8 p.m. ET from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (FL). As the first-stage of the Falcon returned to Earth for an upright landing, the upper stage lofted the mysterious Zuma, presumed to be a spy satellite or military communications satellite, into an undisclosed orbit. The launch was originally scheduled for Thursday, but was pushed ahead until Sunday without explanation, according to WFTV.com in Orlando. Space.com explains: "... the main goal of tonight's flight was getting Zuma aloft, so the spacecraft can start going about its business. Just what that business may be is unclear. We do know that aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman procured Zuma's launch atop a Falcon 9 for the U.S. government — but we don't know which agency will operate the satellite, or if its mission is civilian or military.” The Associated Press adds: "SpaceX ended launch commentary five minutes into the flight, due to the classified nature of the U.S. satellite."

In Other News A break in a water main at New York's JFK airport on Sunday prompted the evacuation of a flooded terminal, causing backups and delays at one of the country's busiest air hubs just as it was trying to get to normal operations after disruptions from a major snowstorm. Television footage showed water gushing down the walls and flooding a baggage area. It happened after the Port Authority — which operates the airport — said the cold and snow had led to a cascading series of problems.
