I worked with a guy who had previously worked for the NRO. He told me that midwatches at the control center were boring AF, which I believe because I knew midwatches on Navy ships were boring AF when I stood them. One night, when a reconnaissance satellite was line-of-sight to their location, he went out into the parking lot, looked up and waved at the satellite 26,000 miles up in space so his coworkers could watch him on TV inside.
