I saw something about this when it launched, but I'm pretty sure it said they were putting up a cluster of 39 microsats.

Back in college the topic of Tenticle porn" was brought up once and I was told that because of the cencorship in Japan, this is used as a means of representing US imperialism on the rest of the world in a political statement - er, I mean it doesn't mean that at all, it's just anime... <wink> <wink>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tentacle_erotica

Tentacle erotica describes a type of pornography most commonly found in Japan. It integrates elements of traditional pornography with horror or science-fiction themes. Tentacle erotica can be of a consensual nature, but frequently has elements of non-consensual sex. Tentacle rape or shokushu goukan (触手強姦?) is found in some horror or hentai titles, with tentacled creatures (usually fictional monsters) having sexual intercourse with female characters. The genre is popular enough in Japan that it is occasionally even the subject of parody. In recent years, Japanese films of this genre have become more common in the United States and Europe. This, along with the presence of many websites featuring it, has expanded the genre's audience globally, although it still remains a small, fetish-oriented part of the adult film industry. While most tentacle erotica is animated, there are also a smaller number of live-action movies featuring this theme.[1]

America Is Launching A Giant, World-Sucking Octopus Into Space

One of the National Security Agency's partners is launching a spy satellite with a classified payload into space on Thursday night -- and its logo is an angry, globe-gripping octopus.

The spacecraft, being rocketed into the sky by an Atlas V rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, carries a payload from the National Reconnaissance Office. Far less well-known than the NSA, the NRO has a budget that is only a shade smaller -- $10.3 billion a year -- and provides satellite-based surveillance capabilities.

"Nothing is beyond our reach," reads a motto beneath the world-sucking cephalopod. The logo is the latest in a long line of patches produced for classified military missions that are equal parts menacing and mysterious.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which also oversees the NSA, tweeted pictures of the launch preparation. That spurred Christopher Soghoian, of the American Civil Liberties Union, to give the spooks some free advice: "You may want to downplay the massive dragnet spying thing right now. This logo isn't helping."

And yet "we" can't tell the difference between an innocent black mother with her baby and a suspected dark skin woman posing threat to national saecurity right under our noses in our nations capitol in broad day light. But amazing tools we have.

Ive always found the NASA mission patches to be especially interesting but probably just because of my interest in the ancients.

Big Bird = KH-9 Hexagon

"Big Bird is mowing the lawn" - It took pictures over wide strips of terrain. Just like mowing the lawn...
