BREAKING BBC - Russian cosmonauts evacuate space station, SPACE DEBRIS

Just been announced on BBC News as im watching the Greece Riots coverage.

Suggested they have evacuated the space station because of space debris.

and the debris of like an alien attack force with giant laser cannons shooting all over the place before little tiny aliens come down and start killing everyone

Probably the silver surfer and Boba Feta

Crew took shelter from space debris in the Soyuz capsule, all clear now.

Galactus?

BBC is slow, heh.

one question..

was the evacuation yesterday? or right now?!


for more info

captain harlock is furious this time

No idea, it suggested it was breaking on BBC right now.

Seems like it might have been yesterday, which is weird because thats when that asteroid was at closest approach

They reported it as right now but that doesn't mean it didn't actually happen yesterday.

Their pocket magnetospheres malfunctioned

lol, where the fuck are they going to evacuate to?

That was the twinkie that got away from Buzz Aldrin when he was trying to see if it would freeze into a lethal missile and take out that Russian satellite when fired from a rail gun.

Soyuz capsule attached to one of the docking bays.

If debris hits and de-pressurizes the station they can try and repair it if life support still works, if not they will have to land and go back up in another rocket with suitable repair equipment.

Not sure, but didn't Ed Dames (remote viewing guy)say something about a space station or space shuttle getting hit with debris and this would be a "sign" that the Sun was going to do some crazy shit some time after. Like a huge CME or something he called a "Kill Shot"

Oh not again, we're still cleaning up after the last one and we've got a zombie uprising again.

wouldn't incoming debris hit nearly everything?
and how would they know whether the debris was going to hit the station or the capsule? that's scary shit. but to be in space and look down on earth must be worth the risk.

Wow I'm so glad someone else remembers something like this. I'm with you - don't know if it was Ed Dames...

But yes there was something out there about how the space station being abandoned was supposedly a sign that something catastrophic was going to happen.

I'll dig around on Google for this during my lunchbreak. Till then I better get back to writing code. /sigh

A piece of debris has narrowly missed hitting the International Space Station, forcing astronauts to scramble to their rescue vehicles.

waiting to see how long they stay evacuated.

There will be a space shuttle which will be forced to land due to a meteor shower and a couple of months later or so disaster starts.

He doesn't know the exact time this will happen. He says this forced landing is the nearest event to this big natural event.

WWIII imminent = no joint space projects make sense any longer so GTFO!!

^^This

My question too.. Where do they go?

Just the Russkies? Not the two Americans and the one Japanese?

Time is short now. The Governments know what is coming, it was just a matter of time before they made an excuse to evacuate the Space Station(whether real or contrived).
Stay sharp, things are going to be changing soon in a BIG way.

Superman and those Damn floating Mirrors!!! Why does he trap his enemies in those??? Doesn't he know we have Satellites now a days?
