Following up on some of my questions:The USAF would not confirm that the OTV processing was performed in the former OPFs.Why is this information important enough to refuse to confirm or deny?
Also, the USAF will not identify if OTV-1 or 2 is the craft launched today. Again, why? The reason given by the spokesperson quoted in the article is "operational objectives."
cost overruns in OPF rebuild project?

Is it safe post-launch to ask if anyone has a digital copy of the launch patch from ULA of the AFSPC-5 mission?

Guys for four months I have not had a kitchen and the remodel is just about done and I am baking a #LightSail pie
@elakdawalla #LightSail pie deployment successful! (Since it's a FAQ: strawberry rhubarb.)
My impressions of the launch are that I'm glad I went, but watching from the Visitor Center leaves a lot to be desired. The view angle was poor, the parking lot they set stands on was smoking hot, and the sound quality of the countdown and commentary was bad.
Here is something interesting, a sub-contractor for the flaperons and ruddervators mentions a 4th flight unit, now I assume its a 4th set of flaperons/ruddervators, or could it be a 4th X-37B ? .....nahhh http://www.lx3.net/development-manufacturing-x-37-space-plane-flaperons-ruddervators.html"Currently on DQ4 (4th Flight Unit)"
