US Navy Destroys Satellite, why
Thank you to the US Navy for saving us from the terrible spy satellite that was out of control and plummeting to Earth. You have saved us from a bus sized hunk of junk and 453 kilograms of Hydrazine (rocket fuel) that may have been released had this satellite crashed.
Hydrazine is a nasty bit of gear if you are exposed to it acutely for long periods of time. Of course, if a satellite crashes in your back yard I am sure the first thing you will do is go out and take a swim in any liquids/solids oozing from its core. Alternatively if the tank did rupture during atmosphere entry, I am anxious to see how a flammable liquid would make it all the way to the ground after the container holding it burnt up.
Instead of Government’s telling us that they are doing something for our immediate safety why can’t they tell us the truth? They do not want the classified contents or design of this satellite to fall into the wrong hands if it crashes in the wrong area of the planet.
Lets be clear, both “reasons” are for our safety, it’s just that one makes sense to any free thinking intelligent person and the other makes no monetary or safety sense at all. I would wager that the rocket sent up to destroy this satellite was carrying way more than 453 kilograms of Hydrazine.
Oh and next time you have a car accident best put your vehicle gas mask on straight away. The same hydrazine they are trying to “save” you from in the satellite is the same hydrazine that is in each and every vehicle air bag system.
You sound like a bit of a sceptic there SJ. Don’t tell me you also believe that there was a second shooter on the grassy nole and the Pentagon was blown up by a fighter jet
We all live with lies and deceit from Big Brother and are fed propaganda. Does anybody really care that Alexander Downer had a long lunch the other day? Who hasn’t taken a long lunch for a meeting before and given your apologies for another engagement before.
Some of us are able to decipher the spin and ignore their rhetoric…..but we’re not their target. It’s those of us who believe everything they read and sign their life savings away to Nigerian bankers that end up believing it. And of course everybody’s vote counts the same on election day.

I accept that TV shows and the like lie to us. I don’t accept that the news media and governments should make it a habbit to lie.

I reckon we should build our own rocket SJ – Krusty can write the standard operating procedure, I can design the rocket, Velcro can pilot it, blowgirl can dream about its long metal shaft, rabbit can do the electronics and IASM can be the gasbag to fuel it.
I crack myself up, I am the funniest man ever!
—————
Woody should be a consultant on the operating procedure project. I am glad you can entertain yourself.
SJ
And I can be the one to shoot it down………

The stupid idea, or the satellite?
SJ
you would first have to write me a set of specifications with detailed desired outcomes, produce a Job Safety Analysis, supply me copies of your company and indemnity insurance, your company OH&S policies out lining your drug and alcohol rehabilitation stance, your rehabilitation policy on work place injuries, smoking policy, and all other company policies you have in place, supply me with a valid purchase order number, provide financial details so I can have your financial history checked by our finance department, write me a “permit to work” just so I could work out whether or not your company policies and insurances meet the standards of our company, arrange a meeting to hash out the differences in policies. I will then and only then work out if I need further permits (i.e. hot work permit) in place to continue the project which I will present back to you via senior management meeting.
At this point a progress payment will be required to cover any costs incurred so far.
After payment is made I would be able to supply you with about 1/2 page of Safe Operating Procedures that I down loaded from the net. Final invoice to be issued at this point.
From here on I will be charging for extras outside the existing scope of works!
—————
Dam Woody, Your job sounds about as fun as mine. Since when can you get paid for work done to this point? Thats just all part of negotiating the contract in my game.
You sound like have built a Rocket before. Any other advise for Marteen?
SJ
People like you are always looking for the negative in everything. Why can’t you be satisfied with the truth. The satellite was blown up to protect us from these chemicals, plain and simple.
————–
People like me? hmmmm so people who think about what they read or are told rather than just believe it? Well yes, I would accept that.
SJ
Once again, Rob B misses the point entirely. The author has made perfectly clear description about how, what they have told us makes no sense and you will steadfastly defend the media’s version.
I am not sure if everything written above is 100% accurate but I am very surpirsed our mates in the US would waste all that money to blow up a satellite for the reasons they have suggested.
Pissed myself laughing with Marteens comments, only problem is the fuel, it would need Rocket fuel, not the low grade fuel (we can call it methane) available from Showbag.
Krusty the majority of us call it shit!
————–
That is quiet funny. Methane in solid form.
SJ
Well done to most of you today on the humour front. Unfortunately it’s been at MY expense. Even so, it has been enjoyable. Marteeen, thanks for adding some humour to the site.
To the witless wonders Velcrap, Rob B (for Boring) & Jerkthro, please add humour to your repertoire? Please please please. You 3 are exceedingly humdrum & boring!
My dog went missing last week….you didn’t eat it did you?
Nice one Marteen, but you didn’t leave a job for SJ. I suspect he’ll be responsible for some sort of blinding flashbang that will cause us to shoot the rocket at our own satellites?
Velcro – maybe somebody needed it for their dog garden?
Velcrap, you never disappoint with your predictable circumscribable racist attacks!
Can you not learn from your fellow blue collar bevan colleagues & use some intelligent wit to razz me. They are doing a fine job without stuping to racist jibes?? eg Farteeen started it all & got me with the gasbag call, Krudsy topped it nicely with the Methane addition & then Woodless brought it home with the shit call. All well done!!
Velcrap, are you too dumb or too unhappy with your life to get past your prejudice??
Rabbit, if your dog garden comment is some how directed at me due to my nationality then I would be disappointed in you. In the past you have actually sounded quite intelligent (as far as dumb bevans go.) If I have misunderstood Rabbit , then I apologise.
Comments directed to your nationality??? I thought you called yourself Australian?
Or do you pick and choose your nationality depending on your mood? Hmm, today i’d like to be Swiss
Take a f*cking joke looser. Australians cop sh!t about rooting kangaroos everyday…..like water off a ducks back. You’re always so quick to play the racist card….if you give it, you’ve got to be able to take it sunshine. I’m sure they taught you that down at The Cross!
