BREAKING: North Korean Satellite Tumbling Out of Control | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29335662  Mexico12/12/2012 06:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They seem to name all their satellites the same thing= Kwangmyongsong-3 and they have had a few failures under this name. Maybe the name is jinxed and they should think up a new one. *8tw- I see that the one in March was to have an altitude of 500 Im watching that site and the altitude is falling [link to www.n2yo.com] That sat tracking website was interesting, but more reewling were the words used to describe the weather satellite: ...' launch is widely portrayed in the West to be a veiled ballistic missile test'. |
CharlieMurphy  User ID: 21085501  United States12/12/2012 06:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Heres an odd thought... every time it rotates it comes closer to places like North and South America. Won't it eventually go over every place on the earth at least once? If it did have a target and this wasn't a weather sat, could they be waiting until their target is within range to drop whatever is needed to be dropped back into orbit and hope no one notices until it is too late? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20053617 You are right about the orbit, this was no weather sat. Fuck Yea! |

| miabelieves User ID: 1468143 United States12/12/2012 06:35 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yea it has now passed perigee and is climbing to apogee. Quoting: CharlieMurphy It is in a very highly inclined orbit, meaning it goes from North to South and South to North over the poles. This type of orbit allows you to observe every part of the Earth as it rotates underneath the satellite. This was no weather satellite... It was intended as a spy satellite, hopefully it really did malfunction and is useless now. I was wondering if that was what was going on. thank you so much for your knowledge Hold on to your undies, it's gonna be a hell of a ride |
| Butterfly girl User ID: 14473545 United States12/12/2012 06:35 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it should have been shot down before it got into orbit. Somehow I doubt Obama will take it out now..even To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven... A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.... |
| CharlieMurphy User ID: 21085501 United States12/12/2012 06:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ok what about a nuclear silo missal as a silo is smaller and easy fit its about the same power as a normal one or greater Quoting: LightX Nuke Missiles, ICBM's, are sub orbital. While they do get into space they are never meant to actually get into orbit. This one actually did achieve orbit, it was most likely a spy satellite. Fuck Yea! |

We can never shed our sins and regrets, only accumulate more, a burden that we grow and carry until our deaths. The best we can do is learn to live with ourselves, to accommodate our pasts |

| CharlieMurphy User ID: 21085501 United States12/12/2012 06:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24590938 Once the Earth rotates so that the US is under the orbit of this satellite, it will be making a few fly-by's. These things move pretty fast at that altitude. Then the earth will rotate around and the US will come under it again. This was meant to be a spy sat, I am sure now. Hopefully it failed. Fuck Yea! |
