Skynet to be Launched Soon: Time to Hide, Sarah Connors!

In this news story, the BBC reports that the launch of a £3.6 billion UK military communications satellite program was delayed when a solid fuel boosters malfunctioned.

But that’s not why it’s here, folks. It’s the name of the program. Either someone’s being cheeky or hasn’t ever watched the Terminator movies, or we’re in for it as the end of humanity has begun. See, the Brits are launching … Skynet.

The Skynet program has been going on since the 60’s the first satellite was launched in 1969. Its actually the British Skynet that came first.

It’s Sarah Connor (no “s” at the end!)

Sarah: What were the women like in your time?
Kyle: They were … good fighters.

In the original Terminator, Ah-nold went around killing all the Sarah Connors in the phone book, hence the plural.
