HI all to the forum. I found this story on my twitter feed during the holidays. it seems like a hacker group based in Germany wants to hack the planet by lunching its own satellites in to low earth orbit and hack into the websites of governments that enforce censorship of the net. this group is know as the Chaos Computer Club which was founded in Berlin about 30 years ago. I read up on them in the wekipidei and they seem to be involved in a lot of political moments over the past 3 decades. The planing to build tacking stations during 2012 with the help of a German aerospace group.
as I had said over my twitter feed, what this group looks cook, but can they do it. http://www.space.com/14091-hacker-satellites-internet-censorship.htmleed, (http://www.space.com/14091-hacker-satellites-internet-censorship.htmleed,)
hacking the planet? that just seems impossible to me.

Yes I think so too. but i think that this is what this group will attempt to do.
They must be realise that if this worked I'm sure it wouldn't be long before this satellite would "accidentally" fall out of orbit and burn up....
I heard about a group wanting to put a bunch of satellites into orbit to create an internet free from censorship....

Yes that can happen too, but they might fall on thier own.
