> how much you think is "invested" on mapping any potential space threats compared with, i.e. spying on ourselves
Which do you think is a more realistic threat, being obliterated by an asteroid or being attacked by other humans?
I'm not debating you. You may think you're the voice of reason here, but you really don't know anything about the situation, and I don't care what you think.
Barnaby would routinely party until 5am then deliver the first talk in the morning. And deliver the talk well. His research was good, but then again so was the research of others who weren't nearly as much fun. Conference organizers aren't robots.
His hard partying ways were well known in the security community. Reading all of this conspiratorial talk reminds me how foolish we can be when we talk about people we've never even met.
Does anyone seriously expect a bunch of other well known hackers to admit in public that they routinely binged on drink and hard drugs with Barnaby? Merely to put to rest wild speculation by some randoms who didn't even know him and will likely continue to believe whatever they want to believe?
But I can't.
I'm sure looking forward to their findings!
Hopefully the Chinese will release some high quality pictures. I'm not suggesting the moon landings were fake, but given the overall cost and engineering that goes into such an endeavor, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect photos of the same quality I can take with my cell phone.
I read that the first images we see now are low quality to keep transmission time low. The high quality ones, including full video of the decent, will follow.
Good luck keeping guys with tens of thousands of exploits out of it
As soon as software catches up and makes it practical, the rest of the world is going to dump the US cloud forever.
Sourceforge is garbage now.

It is a fact that the largest US defense contractors had *thousands* of workstations and servers backdoored for *years* before anyone wised up to it. These are networks managed by professionals who really do take security seriously.
I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that tons of machines are trojaned prior to sale.
I have file system 0day. Be sure to dd the content to that flash drive and dd it back off!
