Space Forum / Shuttle / November 2007

An Arianne 5 rocket has just launched a British military satellite
"SKYNET" into space.

You may all recall that SKYNET is the military system which will take
over the world and launch nuclear missiles to kill humans and deploy
robots to destroy any remaining human rebels starting in 1997.

It is also responsible for Arnord Swartzenegger existing in our
timeline.  It is not known if the current incarnation of Arnold was sent
to destroy or protect California from the nasty robots.

So this shows that you cannot change history/the future. So even if they
destroyed the factory that would have made the US version of Skynet, it
ended up being the british who built and launched Skynet.

Assuming the rocket hasn't exloded since BBC showed the first few
seconds of its launch, it augurs well for the ATV launch in a few months.
