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.

PS: BTW, if any of you fella's need a boat to pick
up Manganese pebbles off the ocean floor, we can
probably find a boat to do that.

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