HOT BIRD 10

When you need to fix a satellite there is only one way to do it. Launch another one!
Fancy watching the behind the scenes of a satellite launch? From payload integration to training with the French Foreign Legion who guard the launch site, National Geographic’s World’s Toughest Fixes has it all promises to be a must see for the sat enthusiast. 
The show, due to air from the 4th June, takes a behind the scenes look at the launch of the $250m HOT BIRD 10 satellite on an Ariane 5 rocket. …

Although it may cause some of our readers to get a little upset to see a dish pulled down, sometimes the time comes. And shouldnt we have a little fun doing it?
These guys pulled down a 18m (60 foot) diameter dish when they found this little gem on a  property they bought.

This is just some gratuitous destruction. Enjoy

And how can we forget these hapless fellows, who finally get it on their 4th attempt.

An awesome on board shot of the latest shuttle launching to fix the Hubble telescope.
Watch for the money shot of the shuttle separating and floating away for the first time around 2:30 in.
You get to see the action from a whole bunch of angles which is truly breathtaking.
