They'll all have to be realigned when the big asteroid hits the Earth.

Those sats will just be bugs in the teeth of The Big One.

What about 'good one' UT.
After all, it was his joke to begin with. |

I thought this looked familiar...
This reminded me of J-track 3D which allows you to roll around the planet and see where specific satellites reside, including the ISS, in real time.
Spy satellites! Hehehe, nice!

I should have read the whole post first but since I'd seen the original on APotD, I just skimmed it and didn't realize it was a value added post....until I'd made a fool of myself, that is.

AMSAT OSCAR 40 was supposed to be in a Molniya-type orbit too, but the rocket motor intended to steepen the inclination failed, leaving it in basically a geosynchronous transfer orbit at about +- 5 degrees inclination. There's about half a dozen operating amateur radio satellites these days.
I don't know what color they are on the pic. :-) see http://www.phil-mont.org/AO40/AO40Notes.html

OK, as long as it's not male bashing.
