Should be fun to watch the web cast. But:

"The three-engine Delta IV Heavy rocket, the tallest ever to be launched from the base, will be carrying a top-secret spy satellite for the U.S. government capable of snapping pictures detailed enough to distinguish the make and model of an automobile thousands of miles below, analysts say."

Come on, Google Earth can do THAT... I would like to think a $1 billion check gets you a bigger lens than that... :-)
