What about the Globalstar launches in Russia? Are there security risks also?... Haven't both LOR and Hughes been involved in military work for a long, long time. Don't you think they understand the security considerations?

Peter Peter Peter,

I have quite a few ideas as to your 'military connection' Suffice to say you will need to be consistent with you facts and arguments to be taken seriously on this thread.

I mentioned some time ago that it was a fun mind exercise to think the Chinese jammed their own satellite. Your rant is a little far on the fanatic side for me. Keep ranting and give us some info we can check out. Heck even Molder is getting Scully to believe.

P.S. Try the 'Shift' key for capitals and how about a spell check every now and again.

Peter,

They put the black box on a rocket. The rocket crashed. The communists stole the encryption board.

Is the encryption board that weak? What kind of encryption technology is that? If the Chinese is that smart and advanced in sat technology then why the launch failure in the first place?

I can't help myself: Military Intelligence! Now the Chinese are getting it too. For free.

"lets just say i'm military connected and this should come
out this week if the journalist in this country will do
their damm job."

Don't you think the USA and India should simply nuke China before it uses the secrets of disconnecting satellites and the internet?

Just because the commercial black box may be compromised doesn't mean that the military equivalent is. I suspect differences exist. If the designers have done the job well, reverse engineering the box is the easiest part of developing a capability to take over command control of satellites. The had part is discovering the private part of the keys which are unique for each black box.
