Since we are off topic, read the Bill of Rights and
the Constitution
sometime if you want an idea of just how many of your rights (re:
freedom) have been usurped in your 'best interest' by our omnipresent
Federal Government. This spy satellite pales in comparison to the
invasion of personal liberty that has been either legislated by
Congress or in the case of our Constitutional Rights bent in
interpretation by the Supreme Court under the guise of a 'living
breathing Constitution.' Bullshit. The Constitution doesn't need
interpretation, it is written very clearly and has been raped.
I may be naive, but I understand that the satellite was owned by
a connecticut company who was have it launched to replace the one
which went bad earlier this year, knocking out millions of pagers,
etc.
several years. Its the payload of the first that
exploded that's very
curious to me: a high-tech spy satellite capable of listening on on
thousands of phone calls and other communications, costing how many
billions? You'd think they would be REALLY, REALLY careful with a toy
like that.
So would I... and I would have suspect that such a satellite would have
been launched from vandenburg. This is part of the reason I do believe
it was a communicates satellite.
BTW - if not from vandenburg, then aboard a shuttle...

replace the failed
communications satellite. They've moved some some others
around in their
orbits to provide temporary coverage for the failed one.
