Here’s how we go from “sourced facts” to “rumour mongering” in one step: Hypothetical Facts: upon fairing separation the super secret payload was able to establish communication with in-orbit trusted stations, and no longer needed to communicate through the fairing or other non-trusted stations. So it turned off its radios and other EMI producing communications systems. Secret satellite operation base was able to establish control of satellite through secure optical in-orbit communications. Payload adaptor successfully deploys the satellite and neither SpaceX nor Northrop Grumman has any further involvement with the satellite. Source: SpaceX lost communication with the payload immediately after fairing separation. CNBC: SpaceX destroyed the super secret spy satellite
