We need to stop wasting valuable resources sending humans into space. Too expensive to house a human in space. We are killing terrorist with drones why not travel space with them. We would accomplish twice as much twice as fast and just think of the spin-offs for earth? New, more powerful androids. We need to move quickly before Japan kicks our assess again. We could have complex androids on Mars in 5 years at a fraction of the cost. Drop them onto any number of planets that have no hope of supporting human life, but could yield great scientific data. Put on your thinking cap NASA and give up trying to send a fragile vessel into a hostile environment. It makes no sense scientifically and economically.

Could this be the first shot fired by the new Russian government letting the US know that it can and will take out satellites if need be? We know that there are detailed battle plans and equipment in place for such a war by the 3 super powers, US, China and Russia. Government planners need to think twice before shutting down all of the terrestrial navigation systems and instead renew their efforts to maintain a dual system. Even if a satellite war was not a credible threat then certainly solar flare activity could cause widespread satellite shutdowns and mass panic in the airline industry which is quickly switching to satellite systems from inertial navigation systems.

This move again highlights the lack of intelligence of the commercial media concerns. Greed, not brains lead this group. They will now introduce a whole new group to the Torrent technology. Smooth move! iTunes is easy, fast and legal. But then again, why let logic get in the way.
