So this is basically just an unintended side-effect of the NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory launch? (It created some junk that had to go somewhere.) And it’s a SpaceX rocket because that’s what NASA used? And we actually, unintentionally, get to do some useful science with it as a result? Cool.
Actually this sounds like it was neither intentional nor bad (nor even a SpaceX decision). Unlike a lot of other SpaceX-involved bullshit.
