Missing the most important piece of info about any NRO launch, the mission patch! Meow! <a href="https://www.nro.gov/portals/135/assets/img/L-70_Snow-Leopard_1920px.png" rel="nofollow">https://www.nro.gov/portals/135/assets/img/L-70_Snow-Leopard...</a>
We changed the URL from <a href="https://www.spacedaily.com/reports/End_of_an_Era_Final_Delta_IV_Heavy_Rocket_Carries_NROL_70_on_Historic_Mission_999.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.spacedaily.com/reports/End_of_an_Era_Final_Delta...</a> to an article that seems to have more background information.<p>Is there a better article available? If so, we can change it again.
Who can't love the commemorative poster as well!!<p><a href="https://www.nro.gov/Portals/135/Images/Social%20Media%20graphics/10308_NROL-70_Poster_FINAL2_11x17.pdf?ver=Z2z4eOrY_aZT2cI8cAw9Ow%3D%3D" rel="nofollow">https://www.nro.gov/Portals/135/Images/Social%20Media%20grap...</a>
This article sounds like it was written by ChatGPT. That said, it's wild we were still using expendable rockets like Delta IV Heavy when SpaceX offerings are objectively better & cheaper. What SpaceX has done for the industry is nothing short of incredible.
