The residents of Orlando, more than 77km from Cape Canaveral, still hear the supersonic explosion caused by Falcon 9.

Because of the high sensitivity and security of satellites, it is unclear what this NROL-76 launch mission is for, the medium-sized satellite cannot be used for any purpose.

The badge of this launch is two explorers Lewis and Clark - the first two to explore the western part of modern America. The Intelligence Agency explained that their mission was no different from the old one, and also explored some new land and reported it to the authorities. In addition, there is no other information.

It is clear that we do not know what the secret agency wants to do, but we know for sure what purpose these missile launch events are for SpaceX director Elon Musk. His ambition is that in the future, SpaceX will have a powerful reusable rocket team, ready for human conquest of the universe.

With this next success, we see that "ambition" is not far away.
