Jᴀᴄᴜʀᴜᴛᴜ - Tʜᴇ Cᴀsᴛ Oᴜᴛ

Interesting. The incident raises some good issues. The crowding of orbit has been a growing problem for some time and there's no easy way to deal with it. The article mentions Kessler's Syndrome and I've actually seen the show Planetes based off the concept.

You're right about the quality of the article! Someone forgot to proofread. Check out the redundancy:

Experts said that while the risk of satellite collisions like Tuesday's was exceptionally small, now one had occurred it made another more likely...

...Mr. Klinkrad said the fact one collision had occurred increased the likelihood of more collisions, particularly as even more space debris had been created.

Not only that, but the people interviewed are apparently dolts as well:

"This is an event that really makes us realize that things are not so straightforward as we originally thought," said Francisco Diego, a senior research fellow in physics and astronomy at University College London.

"Oh no! We- we- we thought there would never be a crash, but- but now there's been a crash and, and, and WAaAAAaaaahhh!!!!"

It was inevitable, you fuck. And as long as we kept on adding to it, the sooner the inevitability would be proven.

"In the longer term, there are geopolitical implications to this because people are going to start wondering, 'was that crash deliberate?'" said Mr. Brookes.

Yeah, totally deliberate! Obviously, the Russians aimed their rocket in just the right trajectory so that the orbit would crash it right into the US satellite exactly 22 years, 3 months, 17 days, 4 hours, 56 minutes, and 1 second down the line. Obviously! Fools...


Does anyone else think this is either symbolic of the previous cold war, or foreshadowing the next one? I mean, it looks like Iran is cool now, so now who is the US going to be paranoid of? Is it back to the Russians? Oh boy!

Gulag... socialist work camp... same difference.

You've got it wrong! It was poorley written and they gave bad answers becuase they're trying to cover-up that the aliens broke loose from Roswell.

Maybe it's an in-universe document "written" by KJA.

Or maybe you wrote it, SoleMan?

THINK!

If I wrote that, there would have been 95% more Ninjas...
