Solar Warden...anyone heard?

Just saw a show speaking of "Solar Warden." Anyone know about this?

Seems pretty crazy to me:

I'll look into it more when I've had a bit less cognac ...

Gary McKinnon, whom you mention, was a Londoner who hacked into NASA and other governmental computers, only to find out about Solar Warden.

Solar Warden is allegedly a secret space fleet run by the US Naval Space Command, that McKinnon backed into while hacking into NASA computers.  McKinnoir stumbled onto the computers of the US Space Command and was astonished to learn of the fleet.  In addition to eight huge mother ships (each longer than two football fields end-to-end) the fleet boasts 43 small scout ships. "The Solar Warden Space Fleet operates under the US Naval Network and Space Operations Command (NNSOC) [formerly Naval Space Command]. There are approximately 300 personnel involved at that facility, with the figure rising."  http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/darren-perks/solar-warden-the-secret-space-program_b_1659192.html

You might note that NASA has completely abandoned space vehicles of any kind...and wonder why it still exists.  Could be it is redundant and its replacement has gone entirely underground.
