Final Skynet Satellite Launched

kamochan writes "If you are a fan of the Terminator series, this headline in BBC News sent shivers down your spine today. The idiots actually did it, the countdown has started! What the BBC claims the story is about: 'An advanced satellite that will improve greatly the ability of UK military forces to communicate around the globe has been launched into space.' Quite frankly, that sounds scary enough as it is, but why the heck did they have to name it Skynet?"

You mean they sent operatives back in time to create the company before the warning documentary was filmed?

Obviously

but why the heck did they have to name it Skynet?" Because "Colossus: The Forbin Project" would have just been too long and awkward to keep writing on paperwork.

The UK's use of the name Skynet precedes the Terminator movies.

Temporal or Causal Precedence?

Simple

See, by creating a new system called Skynet, people saw it for what it was, so they went back in time to start using it sooner(1969) so people could claim it was in use before the documentary was made...

Man, you're right. We must at now against the terminators, and the subversive Ha..Ha.. I was joking in the normal human manner. It would be pure human lack of logic to come to that conclusion. Carry on Human friend.
