    I’m honestly happy to see that it just had a fuel malfunction instead of the implication of an outside cause…

      Yeah, blowing up satellites and cutting undersea internet cables would be (a short) prelude to world war III.

      That was a previous satellite. This one appears to still be unknown if I’m not mistaken.

      Makes me wonder if we have some Kessler Syndrome on our hands… 👀👀👀

      Probably not. Anyway.
