CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, FL – The sudden and unexpected outage of a crucial tracking radar that is mandatory to insure public safety, has forced the scrub of a pair of launches planned for this week from Cape Canaveral, FL, that are vital to US National Security, United Launch Alliance, SpaceX and NASA.

The tracking radar is a mandatory asset for the Eastern Range that oversees all launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Kennedy Space Center on the Florida Space Coast.

The pair of liftoffs for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and SpaceX/NASA had been slated just days apart on March 25 and March 30.

Both launches have now been postponed for a minimum of 3 weeks, according to a statement I received from the 45th Space Wing of the US Air Force that controls the critical launch control systems, communications, computers and radar elements.

And....... MIAMI is the target of the Malaysian 777.

This is actually encouraging bc Miami is only a dirty bomb target, not a (NATIONAL REACH) EMP target.

Hussein could, of course, nuke it.

I didn’t think of that last possibility.

Don’t worry, we have our top Moslem Brotherhood operatives trying to fix our radar.

Thanks, but I am not sure what this news means...I know it scares me! Delay is understand, but lack of radar ability seems inexcusable by our government. There must be backup systems??

Thanks for ping - it seems a bit shocking that one little incident, whether an electrical short or deliberate arson, could so throw off essential launch work.

What is up with that? Why no "plan B" back-up, if this radar is so essential?

Seriously, WHY? Who's responsible?

This situtation needs to never happen again, IMHO...

Why are you worried about radar? It’s not as if a big plane was unaccounted for ... oh, wait.

but it is OUR gov’t that has made us ‘blind’ on the coast - for their own reasons - it's more plausible that it if something ‘sneaks’ in - it will US that did it - so why would they send up an AWAC?

Hussein made a curious off-the-cuff statement a few years back that made my ‘alert’ signal go off.

He said that the U.S> could ‘withstand’ a dirty bomb attack.

Something echoed in my head - he's planning one - then he can initiate M-Law - and if he does it in a time frame of 6 months before elections - there will BE no election - and he and his handlers will be in total charge for 6 months - no congress, no senate, no nobody but them.

after that - it's all over.

They - these commies and their handlers - have been working for decades to get this close to total control. ARe they going to stand by and let a thing like a legal election snatch is out from under them now?

Bubba's little WAg-the-Dog actions to try to cover up his mess with the blue dress was child's play compared to what these cretins are willing to do.

Pray hard - and put in a good supply of water.

And just the other day he said he was more worried about a nuke going off in Manhattan than Russia. Which I thought was really an odd thing to say.

I don't see how? I mean did the resident and moochelle have to cut back on their vacations or sightseeing, have ant of the members of congress lost any of their benefits? If none of the important have been discomfitted then how could it have been a bad idea.
