Large Boeing Satellite Suddenly Explodes Into Pieces That's not good.

A Boeing satellite belonging to multinational service provider Intelsat mysteriously blew into pieces in geostationary orbit over the weekend.

According to an official update, an "anomaly" caused the satellite — dubbed IS-33e — to be destroyed, resulting in what the company calls a "total loss."

"The first, dubbed IS-29e, failed due to a propulsion system fuel leak"


Pretty clear fuel leak happened in this one as well as it was using much too much fuel so then that fuel must have ignited and blown the thing to bits which mean they are thousands of little particles in orbit ready to take out other satellites and then if those explode then other things start to break up

Yeah, but think of how well they've met their diversity targets.

If you think about it, deep down, isn't DIE more important than having things work as they should?

It is for me.

Hmm, someone testing their anti-satellite weapon?

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz [op] 3 points 1 monthOct 23, 2024 16:11:15 ago (+3/-0)

pretty much my thought as well

Probably. I've also wondered if some of these top secret orbiters have a self destruct if someone/something tries to capture them.

They've got to.

That or DEI or hacks or just some random bit of space rock the likes of which hit Earth a million times a day.

It must have said something racist.

What's that theory about how we are close to a shotgun like chain reaction that takes out all satellites?

[ - ] Belfuro 2 points 1 monthOct 23, 2024 14:43:34 ago (+2/-0)

The most retarded idea ever. No concept of the size of space just around earth

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 0 points 1 monthOct 23, 2024 19:57:12 ago (+0/-0)

There's a lot up there

Many players already have this option if they wanted to use it. The fast moving debris will wipe out huge portions of all satellites if they were to pull this trigger

[ - ] Drstrangestgov 1 point 1 monthOct 23, 2024 19:56:26 ago (+1/-0)

I betcha they could do it with 1 ton of ball bearings.

[ - ] letsgetit 0 points 1 monthOct 24, 2024 21:59:29 ago (+0/-0)

A tactical nuke could do it too. Ball bearings sound way less expensive and would eventually knock everything offline

Who would be harmed more? Those surveilling us or we who are being surveilled? (probably spelling errors)

If space were real this would have happened years ago.

Fortunately "satellites" are high altitude balloons.

[ - ] Belfuro 1 point 1 monthOct 23, 2024 14:43:55 ago (+2/-1)*

You are not real, judeo-nigger

[ - ] DitchPig -1 points 1 monthOct 23, 2024 14:51:07 ago (+1/-2)

Correct. I am not a judeo-nigger.

Whatever the fuck that is.

[ - ] Master_Foo 1 point 1 monthOct 23, 2024 16:43:45 ago (+2/-1)

Don't worry, I still believe you are a real Judeo-Nigger.

[ - ] Belfuro 1 point 1 monthOct 23, 2024 17:10:18 ago (+2/-1)

A judeo nigger is a once person tricked by jews into being a nigger.

Nihilist's are all judeo-niggers.

"I can observe reality but I read a jewish blog saying that nukes and space are not real"

[ - ] DitchPig -2 points 1 monthOct 23, 2024 17:13:49 ago (+0/-2)

lol, "observe reality", believes the jews about outer space.

Top kek.

Cognitive dissonance rating of 8.5/10

Lol you suck

We don't care about the satellite, Boeing, but the pieces that can now damage other satellites.

[ - ] letsgetit 2 points 1 monthOct 23, 2024 15:41:25 ago (+2/-0)

the solution is more DEI hires

[ - ] TheNoticing 0 points 1 monthOct 23, 2024 20:36:30 ago (+0/-0)

Sounds like it was exploded.
