NASA Hacked

Being as it is the 4th of July we should celebrate what is great about America or something right? Well it has just been released that a hacker back in 1997 actually disrupted a NASA mission while it was in progress interrupting NASA's ability to monitor the life signs of the astronauts.

We had an activity at NASA center where a hacker was overloading our system...to such an extent that it interfered with communications between the NASA center, some medical communications and the astronaut aboard the shuttle
Yeah, this story is actually 2 days old but so is the glass of milk on my desk, and I'm still lookin at it.

  • Opress someone else, Zilla. I haven't read any other replies yet, but I just want to say in JACK's defense (not steve) this site always has that shit up daily. Today should be no different. Our country was founded on the idea that we could engineer it ourselves, but does anyone feel that they really can effect one tiny piece of what really goes on in our government? If people weren't so worried about what other people did or thought, we may even be FREE someday.

    So shame on you Zilla, for buying in to the borgois dream and for accepting that this is as good as it gets. I think every American is as proud of this country as you are, but we'd all like to have a little bit more of it in our hands.
























  • It's flag-waving neanderthal trogladits like #13 that allow things in this country to slip into corruption and make it a worse country, not a better one.

    Now which monkey is #13.... see no evil? .... speak no evil? .... or hear no evil?

    Calling someone's patriotism into question because they say something (even slightly) negative about the U.S. is acting like a complete TROLL. If problems are not reported, just how are the underlying problems going to be fixed? Sometimes govenernment needs public opinion to weigh on it to get action. LOS ALAMOS secrets anyone? With the way administration handles secrets and security, its a wonder anything is secret or secure.

    Happy 4th of July everyone!
