Once the spy-sat starts touching atmosphere it's

It surprises me it cannot be remotedly detonated.

PS: Note to next spy-sat designers...make sure
all the classified stuff burns up, or can be detonated.


Apparently, part of the issue with this sat is that the ground
cannot communicate with it. During a CNN presser yesterday, the
USAF spokesman said that the sat did have the ability to
self-destruct, but we can't trigger it. I'll bet that there's a
big lessons-learned session gonna come of this one...if the
computer on the bird can't receive a ping indicating continuing
comms, then it goes BOOM.


That's it Typhoon, all the media spy **** is crappola,
reminds me of Ice-Station-Zebra, a good movie.


So now we know you sit in your room with your nails growing to a foot
in length.

Super connect to HH...very close, and it is true HH
did black-art business with Tucker Corporation, but
that's in the past now.


Yes, I'm sure old howard had a lot of uses for paper airplanes.
