Hawthorne, CA – Before the successful launch, voyage, and recovery of SpaceX’s Dragon Spacecraft, the first time in history a commercial company has recovered a spacecraft from orbit, reporters were buzzing with news of a “secret” payload, stowed on board.
It was a payload so secret, SpaceXers made it Top Secret (think Val Kilmer 1984, not official US Government).
