    I have a question regarding the recent launch of Lacrosse 4: Why didn't
    the US government release information on the launch?  It doesn't seem
    that there's much use in classifying satellites; we have videos of the
    launch, know the indentification and classification of the satellite, and
    its orbit.  We can track it, and know its purpose.  We even know what
    specific group of the US government launched it.
    
    This may not be strictly observational-related, but it is puzzling to me,
    and possibly to others on the list, too.
    
    Thanks!
