QUOTE Expensive new U.S. spy satellite not working: sources
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials are unable to communicate with an expensive experimental U.S. spy satellite launched last year by the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), a defense official and another source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

How is this wasting tax dollars? After all, it is an experimental satellite. Things are always going to go wrong whenever people are involved. Maybe the government should invest more time into testing before it launches satellites of this nature, however I do not see this as a waste of tax payer dollars.

Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

I think it is important to know, but not really a waste of tax dollars yet. If it happens continually then there may be someone with whom blame should be placed.
