  Wouldn’t it be a bit more concerning if it exploded into smaller, yet complete satellites…? Exploding “into pieces” seems downright SOP to me.

    Probably because it’s very important that he is involved in every discussion, even if it doesn’t initially involve him.

  I did read about this yesterday, and as far as I know the name of the sat is intelsat 33e and its for communication purposes. I’m curious to know what really happen, how it broke.

  Boeing evil! Am I right! (laughter)

  It was probably space garbage, and that’s seriously alarming.

    You should look at some numbers before saying “probably”. It was much less probably space garbage than just Boeing. “Much less probably” here stands for “completely fucking irrelevant”.

    There are many organizations tracking space debris and most of it is in LEO, where this satellite was not.

  It was probably an emergency exit hatch for the magic rocket gas.
