Crowd-funded takeover of disco-era NASA satellite


Recommended Posts

Apologies if previously posted, because the story isn't very recent, but I found the idea of commandeering an old NASA satellite and establishing mission control for it with used parts in an abandoned McDonald's kind of intriguing:

Any conspiracy theories about how the CIA/N$A are really using this now that the space shuttle program is kaput?

Cool link and story, thanks for sharing it.

 

The conspiracy theory that I'm currently enjoying the most is that there is an ongoing space war occurring nightly in our skies. The recent return of the X-37B from its mission to deploy nano-satellites designed to ... well, not sure what they're designed for because that story changes with each conspiracy theory I read, but the one I like the most is that they're designed to repel a coming invasion of our species' progenitors who are coming back to reclaim the planet now that it's been successfully terraformed for their return.

 

Absolutely bat-**** crazy, so of course I love it.

Little known fact: Ebola's actually a bioweapon our progenitors have been developing to soften us up in preparation for their ultimate return.

 

That's why the guy in the picture's wearing a containment suit. The space plane might be contaminated with Ebola spores after destroying one of the alien space-based Ebola bioweapons platforms.

 

Yes, you read that right - destroying alien space-based Ebola bioweapons platforms. What, you thought the Chelyabinsk meteorite was really a great big rock?

That makes complete sense!

 

How do we stop them? Is there hope or are we doomed?

We need to seed the upper atmosphere with a bioreactive aerosol barrier that will kill the alien Ebola spores before they reach the surface.

 

Maybe spray chemicals from high-altitude airliners. ;)

Keep in mind Achmed's Razor - - if the solution sounds crazy you can hide it in plain sight (in the Middle East, anyway).

 

The Reagan era "Star Wars" space-based missile defense system was designed to shoot DOWN at objects rising from the earth's surface - - not exactly what we need in this situation, so from the perspective of putting your head in hind site it's not surprising that the "Star Wars" program was killed.

 

The bigger question is what we had to give up in negotiations to get the Lockheed Martin truck-sized fusion reactor.

 

Follow the money (or in this case the planet's natural resources, which amounts to the same thing).

Except that They haven't been here in a while. Not since July. I hope nothing's wrong with Them.

 

I always knew you were holding out on me.

 

They left in July because they knew the season the Bills become relevant again is the year the world ends. They're beating the traffic rush, like Dolphin fans leaving in the first quarter when it's clear their team is going to lose.

I just notice that They stopped posting just when Kiko Alonso blew out his knee.

 

Are They Kiko Alonso? Or did They cause Kiko's injury, and Kiko had to do away with Them? (Perhaps by forcing Them to watch a taping of Cooking with Kiko...)

What I don't want to see is the Bills winning the Super Bowl. As long as I'm alive, that doesn't happen.

This explains everything! Obama getting elected, New Coke, The Bills 14 year playoff drought! It was right under our nose the whole time!
