Since we are off topic, read the Bill of Rights and the Constitution
sometime if you want an idea of just how many of your rights (re:
freedom) have been usurped in your 'best interest' by our omnipresent
Federal Government. This spy satellite pales in comparison to the
invasion of personal liberty that has been either legislated by
Congress or in the case of our Constitutional Rights bent in
interpretation by the Supreme Court under the guise of a 'living
breathing Constitution.' Bullshit. The Constitution doesn't need
interpretation, it is written very clearly and has been raped.

Sure! One out of hundreds of Space Shuttle flights. 1 out of, how many
was that, 4 Apollo flights. A couple recently out of hundreds in the past
several years. Its the payload of the first that exploded that's very
curious to me: a high-tech spy satellite capable of listening on on
thousands of phone calls and other communications, costing how many
billions? You'd think they would be REALLY, REALLY careful with a toy
like that.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I at least like to HOPE that someone
out there cares enough about freedom that they had a hose accidentally
snipped or something, know what I mean?
