We have some textbook examples of Gematria usage in the mainstream media and scientific world
As you can see on this list, this was flight number 47
January 8th also happens to be a date with 47 numerology (1+8+20+18 = 47)
The satellite is named "Zuma" = 1+6+14+26 = 47 (Reverse Ordinal) - Zuma satellite = 8+3+4+1 + 1+1+2+5+3+3+9+2+5 = 47 (Full Reduction)
Secretive satellite = 1+5+3+9+5+2+9+4+5 + 1+1+2+5+3+3+9+2+5 = 74 (Full Reduction)
Notice how CNN pays tribute to the manufacturers of this spacecraft in their headline gematria
SpaceX launches secretive Zuma spacecraft = 8+2+8+6+4+3 + 6+8+6+4+6+1+4+8 + 8+4+6+9+4+7+9+5+4 + 1+6+5+8 + 8+2+8+6+4+6+9+8+3+7 = 211 (Reverse Reduction)

Peace = 60+5+1+3+5 = 74 (Jewish)
