    Not because they couldn’t fix it—But FAA rules don’t permit butt-crack in flight.

    Britain lost lots of pounds in that satellite.

    And of course, that same year, the Tornadoes topped the charts with “Telstar.”

    I wonder what would be the result between a Giraffe and an Elephant.

    Normally giraffes and elephants coexist quite peacefully (as a matter of fact at the Dallas (Texas) zoo’s “Giants of the Savanna” exhibit, we occasionally allow our giraffe and elephant herds to intermingle) but IF it came down to a battle it would be the elephant that would win due to sheer mass, And adult male giraffe weighs in at an average of 2,600 pounds (although there have been occasional specimens that can get to be as heavy as 4,200 pounds) while an adult male African elephant averages 15,000 pounds.

    And yet, Giraffes are NOT allowed to be Rockettes.

    Adult giraffes have no predators other than humans.

    That same nuclear explosion (Starfish Prime) also did other damage.

    According to the Wikipedia article:In July 1962 the Starfish Prime test, damaged electronics in Honolulu and New Zealand (approximately 1,300 kilometers away), fused 300 street lights on Oahu (Hawaii), set off about 100 burglar alarms, and caused the failure of a microwave repeating station on Kauai, which cut off the sturdy telephone system from the other Hawaiian islands.

    And thus was “Star Wars” born…

    There are far more satellites today. Think of the damage a hydrogen bomb detonated in open air could do. That is what Kim Jon Un has threatened to do.
