I was stumbling around on space.com and found this interesting quote from the online newspaper- Space News International: Strategic Space and Defense 2007.

Here is an interesting quote:


After several years of reorganization to meet a diverse set of
new missions, U.S. Strategic Command (Stratcom) has begun
to press its new approach into operations, according to the
command's number two official.

Stratcom has filled most of the billets for the Joint Functional
Component Commands that were created to handle new missions
like global strike; space; missile defense; network warfare;
and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, according to Lt. Gen. C. Robert Kehler, deputy commander at Stratcom.

Kehler has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate to receive his fourth star
and is expected to depart shortly to take over as commander of
U.S. Air Force Space Command.


Now I realize that we're the policemen of the world and we need to keep tabs on what the entire world population is up to, particularly during a war, but what are the limits of this completed network intelligence capability?

NASA is a big government cover for a lot of projects. I don't think for one minute that we know even 10% of the projects they work on.
