It doesn't say "logo". Literally interpreted, it means that there is a giant octopus on the satellite. That provokes one to click the link to find out more.

  Oh, good grief. That was the original article's title.

    We don't have to use the original title here. I too thought it meant a real octopus.

      No, the mods strictly and remorselessly enforce the "use the original title at any cost" rule, even when it is misleading and/or linkbait. Any attempt to provide essential context in the title is met with condemnation. Welcome to Hacker News, where the rules are made up and the points don't matter!

        ...the points don't matter! Holy crap! I wish someone had told me...

      Really? You read 'world-devouring octopus' and thought that not only have US scientists discovered Cthulhu, but they've decided to launch him into space to ride on a satellite? You really believed that? Life for you must be much more alarming than it is for most of us!

        Isn't that what is happening, though? I have yet to RTFA, but I for one welcome our world-devouring octopus overlords.

        Well, I didn't think that but I was very confused about what the article could be about.

  They could have used Marvel' logo for HYDRA. There's already a DARPA project for SHIELD. https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=eac39969d68f5cc5ed62bb8978a2597f&tab=core&_cview=0 https://www.fbo.gov/?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=eac39969d68f...

  Literally interpreted, it means that there is a giant octopus on the satellite. And how do you know that there isn't? Besides, the use of the word "features" to mean "has a picture of on it" is pretty well established. The US coat of arms features an eagle, but that doesn't mean there is an actual eagle sitting on it.
