Suddenly or was it hit by something?
I mean, if you get hit by something, that tends to happen suddenly.
I mean as in intentional targeted hitting
It might have been hit by something. Or it could have had a failure and blown itself up. The history of these buses and some previous observations on this satellite, plus Boeing being involved, makes me inclined to think it blew itself up.
Anti Satellite weapon, or Boeing+rocketfuel?
On the one hand: GodDAMMIT, Boeing!
On the other hand: C’mon now, which one of you was fucking around with the Space Laser?
My bad. One of my Jewish friends let me borrow it and I couldn’t help but push the big red button that says don’t push
Hey! The paint didn’t even dry!

Shouldnt have been blowing that whistle!
It’s hard to fall out of the window in space, on account of not being able to fall and not having windows. But Boeing’s got rocket scientists working on the problem!
Engineering is busy not building planes…
Akshually, the satellite was falling the whole time.
