Thought this an interesting write up it shows the attempts to reduce the classification of acknowledged SAPs to top secret level, also the tiers are top secret and above that acknowledged SAPs then unacknowledged SAPs. Thought this was also interesting .
“What the classification memo does, generally, is it overwrites — it really completely rewrites — a legacy document that had its roots 20 years ago, and it’s just no longer applicable to the current environment that involves national security space,”
What exactly happened twenty years ago to have put this in place in the first place.

Also the last thing that piqued my interest was so wait there were space programmes other than NASA?
