A U.S. intelligence official told TIME Correspondent Jerry Hannifin: "Obviously, some part of the satellite survived the burnout to hit the ground...

Many drive hundreds or even thousands of miles to converge with other vanners at picnicky socials that are held all over the country.

If the valve is manipulated efficiently by some pressure-sensing instrument, it will keep the hot gas inside the rocket at constant pressure from take-off to burnout. Rocket walls can be made lighter, and the bird itself will fly higher...
