Britain has launched Skynet 5B - the latest spacecraft in a sophisticated new military communications system. I actually saw one of these satellites being made (EADS were one of my clients and I got to sit in the vip lounge and see down onto the production labs floor), they say they are sophisticated...well I cant tell you all now....there are thing being held in place on those satellites by duct tape!!! still they are pretty impressive when you see them, but it didnt have its panels on when I was looking at it. I had to sign NDA's and everything.....it was proper top secret goverment info...felt like a secret agent
