Well, if it means one more thing foils that one shithead from South Africa, i.e. force him to die never having achieved anything of meaning to humanity nor achieving his ultimate escape, then fuck it, I welcome Kessler syndrome as the last horseman of the current apocalypse.
This satellite was owned by Intelsat, a company created by John F. Kennedy, an American; built by Boeing, a company created by an American and currently run by an American; and launched by the European Space Agency, on a rocket built by a company from France, headed by a Frenchman.
I'm sure there's South Africans involved somewhere along the way, but I don't think the person you are spitting vitriol about had anything to do with this satellite.
Oh, absolutely. Perhaps I wasn't clear. It's not that he specifically worked on it, thought that would be more poetic, just that it prevents any mates colony efforts.
