Main US Weather Satellite Fails As Hurricane Season Looms
First time accepted submitter Rebecka writes with bad news, quoting an IB Times report: "Just as the 2013 hurricane season is about to begin, one of the U.S.' main weather satellites failed this week. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, also known as GOES-13, reportedly ceased to operate as of Tuesday, making it impossible to predict weather patterns on the East Coast."
A note at NOAA's page for the GOES family of satellites says "GOES-13 imaging and sounding operations suspended. Recovery efforts for GOES-13 continue and the spacecraft health and safety are nominal. GOES-14 is being activated." You can follow the progress on the agency's page of General Satellite Messages.
Wrong president dummy, George W Bush gave them that money.

Aww. $500 million. Just imagine how many satellites could have been built from a fraction of the military budget.
That is measured in billions. Just saying.
Privacy is terrorism.
I am claiming that the previous president gave them some money as well and I erroneously assumed that 535 million included all the money they got out of these loan programs.
Got a citation?
It looks more like that you have an honesty problem, which you have compounded several times now on this issue as one statement of yours after another gets cracked wide open as a complete lie by the citation you did give.
Its easier to simply stop being a dishonest fuck.
