It is quite apparent that the news media and the internet are being 
controlled and managed by the world government.CNN has become a big 
joke!What ever happened to Storyfull Real Time?Were they spreading around 
too much truth?

Other than a few amateur radio satellites that have piggy-backed into space
on commercial or government launches, what amateur satellites have been put
into "orbit"?

Should the hackers manage to actually get one or more satellites into space,
I suspect that they will make great targets for anti-satellite weapons.
Oops, sorry that we just destroyed Comstar-9, we were aiming for Hacker-3
:-)

There aren't any amateur efforts that I am aware of that are capable of an
orbital launch as far as rocket technology goes.  I'm involved in a
multi-year effort to get a sugar propellant based rocket into space.  Orbit
is not currently possible for amateur rocketry efforts so unless they can
weasel their way onto a commercial launch it ain't happening.
