WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials are unable to communicate with an expensive experimental U.S. spy satellite launched last year by the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), a defense official and another source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

How is this wasting tax dollars? After all, it is an experimental satellite. Things are always going to go wrong whenever people are involved. Maybe the government should invest more time into testing before it launches satellites of this nature, however I do not see this as a waste of tax payer dollars.


Sorry, I'll never post anything about spy satellites failing again. My apologies.
