Hey guys! Just wanted to give you a heads up (no pun intended) that yesterday (2/20/2008) the United States of America shot down a space satellite. Just a little tidbit of information I wanted to tell you. I tell you what, it sure as shit sounds cool. It’s like one of the James Bond movies or (if you’re looking for a comedy angle) then it’s like that move Spies Like Us with Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase….We’re shooting satellites down. Shooting…down…a…satellite. That’s some insane stuff.
The reason that the US wants to do this is because the satellite is one of our numerous spy satellites and its pretty much gone insane and has begun to shoot at alien spacecraft. The satellite contains some harmful stuff in it (some important NSA collected data more than likely) and the US doesn’t want to risk that the satellite falls and hurt someone (awwwww, thanks government. I think it’s more fall into the hands of the wrong people). Anyway the very cool thing is that this satellite, which must have cost hundreds of millions of dollars, will cost $60 million to shoot down. I have no idea why. There are a lot of other things they should try and most would do it for free. Here are some of my ideas:
1. Give me the money and I can build something cool that would blow up the satellite for like half the price. I’d say it was $60M, but I’d pocket the other $30M
2. Wait until there is a shuttle launch and give one of the space people a bomb and they can blow it up James Bond style
3. Get a bunch of the missiles that already exist and just launch it into space. I know it might not reach it, but you get the best results when people wing it.
4. Get some of those crazy Arabs to shoot in the air. One might reach the satellite
5. Just get a bunch of Palestinians to throw rock at it
6. Lastly they could just let it fall. Kinda like Russian Roulette
These are just my ideas so even if you think my ideas or I’m retarded, I think they are freakin’ cool and so does my mom, so MEH!
