FLASH: Russia loses contact with most of its civilian satellites, International Space Station after cable breaks: RIA News Agency!!!

What a bunch of fucking drama queens we have on this thread.

Holy jeez you could be right

Putin's finger must be itching to press that red button right now!

OHHHH Nooozzzz...how will the Russians download porn with no Satellites???

Mind you it could just be contractors working on the road outside the Kremlin. The numpties from Eon cut through our internet/phone cables a few months ago.

ok,you have all been waiting for doom...

i think this is what happens when the world asks for doom

so this could be huge?

i think they rely their missiles,and weaponry on satellites

look your both right,lets get back to the problem at hand.

Yes. You are right. The problem. But does anyone have snacks?

This maybe?

Magnetometers are off the hook! - Possible large earthquake coming soon.

RT newsline: Cable rupture won’t affect work of Russia’s military satellites according to RIA reports

Aaand there goes the first strike...

How does a terestrial cable breaking spell space doom? Is this some inaccessible uber special cable that no one can replace or repair?

So a cable breaks and they lose contact with nearly all their civilian satellites and the space station?....

Dont mean to be a bit doom-tardy or a sensationalist but I find it hard to believe that something so important as access to virtually their entire satellite network and their space station has a weak point like A SINGLE CABLE that all comm's are routed through, that if broken brings the lot down. I mean surely for something so important there's backups... and backups to the backups?

Now I'm fairly sure that if it was some muffa-fukka of all cosmic events or similar then it wouldn't just be Russia's satellites that would have gone down, the whole sha'bang would be dark by now, but their excuse still don't wash with me.

Actually, it's a vacuum CLEANER, not a vacuum.

If you're going to be a dick, prepare yourself to suck it too!

Kewl....Now that obamatron has more flexibility and he is due to visit Russia,timing seems superb.

me i've got a Dyson and it's a vacuum cleaner :)

the APRS (automatic packet reporting system)digipeater is still functional on the ISS

their ham radio systems are still functional, anyone with ISS tracking software and a 2 meter radio can veryify it for themselves... frequency is 145.825mhz

sorry, it was me -- i tripped over the plug. let me plug it back in over here.

Well, shouldn't like ESA and NASA also be in contact with the ISS? What about them?

HMMM. ISRAEL Attacks Gaza and then castrates the Russians against any response..
