What On Earth Happened After SpaceX's Zuma Satellite Launch?

Conspiracy theories are flying around after reports that a secret government satellite went missing during the most recent SpaceX launch. The Zuma satellite is rumored to be lost in space, but not everyone is convinced that's true. Miriam Kramer, Deputy Science Editor at Mashable, says that no one knows exactly what happened to the Zuma satellite. However, she suspects that something did, in fact, go wrong. SpaceX has claimed that everything went well on their end during the Sunday night launch. Since the launch was classified, Kramer says we will most likely never know exactly what happened.
