...that explains why John Connor couldn't defeat it. He was looking on the wrong side of the pond.

The British military is set to take one of its most significant steps into the digital age with the launch of the first Skynet 5 satellite.

WTF, are you seriously suggesting that British Armed forces only operate where there is decent internet coverage. Or maybe you think that the internet really is a global phenomena that grows everywhere and doesn't need power stations, phone lines, microwave towers etc.

I think some of you need to get out more and stop looking at the world via a monitor.

China is probably going to shoot it down the second it gets launched.

This can't be good...

By the way

The Skynet 5A platform lifts off from Kourou, French Guiana, on Saturday.

That cosmodrome is guarded against guirella attacks by French soldiers (it's the FFL actually, but they are still "French") so keep this in mind next time you want to do a "haha French military lol" joke, because these guys are harder than most, if not all British soldiers

Rebelius · 10 Mar 2007 at 09:44

I thought it was only officers in the FFL that were actually French? I could be wrong though.
