A satellite belonging to multinational service provider Intelsat mysteriously broke up in geostationary orbit over the weekend.
On the one hand: GodDAMMIT, Boeing!
On the other hand: C’mon now, which one of you was fucking around with the Space Laser?
My bad. One of my Jewish friends let me borrow it and I couldn’t help but push the big red button that says don’t push

Suddenly or was it hit by something?
I mean, if you get hit by something, that tends to happen suddenly.
I mean as in intentional targeted hitting
It might have been hit by something. Or it could have had a failure and blown itself up. The history of these buses and some previous observations on this satellite, plus Boeing being involved, makes me inclined to think it blew itself up.
Kessler effect… here we go!
… Boeing …
So, just like the manufacturer.
Anti Satellite weapon, or Boeing+rocketfuel?
