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

They are not, you are correct. This is poor reporting at best. This is either huge news of a mass comm. take out, or an incorrectly reported nothing - blurb. Let's all hope it the latter.

Could be. They wouldn't admit that their military comms were down. Or it could be that the Russians themselves don't want their own population knowing about something? Or it could be a space event - Russia is massive so if it was facing the event it could be localised to Russia... for a while.

This is interesting, because taking out those satellites would be one priority in the event of a ground invasion.

Not saying this is the case, but interesting nonetheless.

MOSCOW - Russia has lost contact with most of its civilian satellites as well as the Russian part of the International Space Station after a communications cable broke in Moscow, state-run RIA news agency reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed source.
