The spy satellite USA-193, also known as NROL-21, was launched aboard a Delta II rocket on Dec. 14, 2006 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Shortly after the satellite reached orbit, ground controllers lost contact with it. Though the satellite’s objective is secret, many believe it is probably a high-resolution radar satellite intended to [...]
Russia's Defence Ministry said there was insufficient proof that Washington's decision to fire a missile at the disabled satellite was to prevent a potentially deadly leak of toxic gas as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere."Under cover of discussions about the danger posed by the satellite, preparation is going ahead for tests of an anti-satellite weapon. Such tests mean in essence the creation of a new strategic weapon."
Watching satellite TV is an enjoyable experience for the whole family. But there are dangers also. Our children could be exposed to unsuitable media such as nudity, violence and coarse language. Companies came up with parent controls, otherwise known as the V-chip to block off programs when children watch satellite TV based on specific [...]

It's a good idea. We surely do not want the satellite landing somewhere not favorable to the United States. Blow it up before it enters the atmosphere and the smaller pieces will probably burn up in re-entry. The Pentagon is planning to shoot down a broken spy satellite expected to hit the Earth in early March, The Associated Press has learned. U.S. officials said Thursday that the option preferred by the Bush administration will be to fire a missile from a U.S. Navy cruiser, and shoot down the satellite before it enters Earth's atmosphere. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the options will not be publicly discussed until a later Pentagon briefing. The disabled satellite is expected to hit the Earth the first week of March. Officials said the Navy would likely shoot it down before then, using a special missile modified for the task.

It used to be really simple: there was dial-up access and even then chances are you were pretty technically minded to want Internet access anyway.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran launched a rocket on Monday designed to send its first homemade research satellite into orbit in the next year, state television said, a move likely to add to Western concerns about Tehran's nuclear plans. The ability to put satellites into orbit could indicate an advance in the Islamic Republic's missile technology, though official media gave few details. State television reported the rocket had blasted off but did not show the launch. It had earlier broadcast footage of a rocket on a launch pad in desert terrain. It said the satellite, called Omid (Hope), would be launched in the next Iranian year, which ends in March 2009. "We need to have an active and influential presence in space," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a televised ceremony before the launch. "Iran took its first step (to establish a presence in space) very strongly, precisely and wisely," he said. "Building and launching a satellite is a very important ach

Russian President Vladimir Putin wants a sat-nav dog collar to keep a track of his pet labrador, Connie. The BBC quoted Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov as saying that Putin had informed him of his plans for his pet, while he was presenting plans for launching three new navigation satellites. He said the collars would be in the shops in Russia from July 2008. The Proton-K, a Russian rocket, is due to launch three new satellites into orbit today to facilitate Russia's Glonass navigation system. They will bring to 18 the total number of satellites mapping Russian territory. Ultimately it is planned to have 24 satellites in orbit from 2009. The Russian army developed the Glonass system in the 1980s, in competition with the US GPS network and the European Galileo system. (ANI)

WBQC—channels 38 and 25 on the UHF of your non-cable and non-satellite television—is only accessible with a UHF antennae. It is a small local channel that provides a collection of original local programming. The cable and satellite companies, however, has seen fit to exclude this small station from their offerings. I think that’s a weird decision, and I think WBQC should be included.

I have spoken/written about the real danger China presents...From Washington Times:Senior military commanders at the U.S. Pacific Command here said China's recent test of an anti-satellite weapon and increased computer-hacking activities prompted increased defenses for U.S. forces in the region and in space."U.S. space capabilities are an asymmetric advantage that we have to maintain," said Air Force Lt. Gen. Daniel Leaf, deputy commander of the U.S. Pacific Command."There has been significant discussion and activity to assess the impact of [the anti-satellite test] and other [Chinese] space developments, and how to protect our extraordinarily important space capability," he said in an interview at the command's headquarters at Camp H.M. Smith.Pentagon officials have said Chinese military hackers in recent months carried out computer-based attacks on Pentagon and U.S. military and civilian government computer networks, as well as on foreign government networks.Without naming China, Gen

Etty and I are back in Hong Kong with the family; finally. Last night I gave the boys haircuts (They've requested them from me their whole life. I give my little men thousand dollar haircuts. Of course it's on the house. I have distinct reasoning for cutting it myself. I give them the cut that I have. I give them the Beverly Hills treatment while they sit for me.. I learned from the best in Hollywood. When I get my hair done- it comes with drinks and gossip magazines. My salon has apple juice and a book about a family of penguins. This latest book we got is about two male penguins who fall in love at the Central Park Zoo and raise a baby penguin together. Racy little tale for kids I'd say!? It was a gift. Anyway for as long as they would sit for me; their dews came out great. I try and cut their hair like mine so people at least perceive that they are my children. In Hong Kong I am a curious minority with a hot blond Asian wife and beautiful half cast boys who look exactly like their m
