    US spy satellites built by SpaceX send signals in the “wrong direction”

    Given recent efforts to prematurely end the missions of earth observatory satellites, I can't help but wonder if interference with NASA and NOAA satellites was considered a beneficial side-effect by the powers-that-be in the US Government and SpaceX
