It is quite apparent that the news media and the internet are being controlled and managed by the world government.CNN has become a big joke!What ever happened to Storyfull Real Time?Were they spreading around too much truth? -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Moore Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 4:17 PM To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: BBC - Hackers plan space satellites
Other than a few amateur radio satellites that have piggy-backed into space on commercial or government launches, what amateur satellites have been put into "orbit"?
Should the hackers manage to actually get one or more satellites into space, I suspect that they will make great targets for anti-satellite weapons. Oops, sorry that we just destroyed Comstar-9, we were aiming for Hacker-3 :-)
There aren't any amateur efforts that I am aware of that are capable of an orbital launch as far as rocket technology goes. I'm involved in a multi-year effort to get a sugar propellant based rocket into space. Orbit is not currently possible for amateur rocketry efforts so unless they can weasel their way onto a commercial launch it ain't happening.
