I think it's quite clear that hostile aliens are on their way, and so the US government has commissioned Amazon, SpaceX et al to launch a protective shield of satellites into LEO to prevent any ingress of alien craft.
When they are done, there will be hundreds of thousands of space weapons in place, ready to bombard incoming hostiles with orbital velocity shrapnel.

There are a number of cholate beers available in the UK, a large number of which, probably the majority are not sweet.
cocoa, naturally a bitter flavour, fits well with hops in a dark malty beer. I agree completely that packaging it in similar packaging as a product aimed at children is not smart.
While possibly in danger the advertising iceberg, Plum Porter is an excellent beer for those that prefer sweet dark beers.
The same brewery produces a Cappuccino Stout that is served best with a shake from the cocoa shaker typically used on Cappuccinos.
Don't knock it before you try it!
Maybe they need to keep some tanks of liquid nitrogen on-site for putting out fires; I suspect CO2 handheld extinguishers won't be up to the job.
I guess halon is out of the question.
I'm actually surprised the containers don't have piping for injecting such fire suppression measures.
So this is a system that swaps several minutes trying to work out what is in some fuzzy pictures, with many minutes trying to find your U2F key from wherever you put it after Google last asked you to sign in with it.
Ok... And which of my two keys (and two backups) should I be using?
I'm not completely certain, but I'm sure that leaving the key permanently installed in your computer's USB socket is not secure behaviour.
Still, it's at least better than having to dig out your phone, start the Authenticator app and copy across the six digit code. If you can remember the right one to use.
I'd like the producers of alternative medicines, such as homoeopathy, prosecuted for making unfounded and unevidenced claims about their products.
I'm deeply disturbed that companies such as Boots the Chemist sell these so-called cures to the gullible public, rather than providing educational material on how to improve lifestyle; changes that have proved to improve health.
Those who wish for videos of this sort of thing can watch these videos.
So it's going to be half the length of HS2 (HS2 ~ 230 km), exclusively in a tunnel, and cost a fraction of the amount.
Could we get them to build HS2 (and Crossrail 2) once they've finished?
Alternatively, get them to build the accelerator as the path of HS2, and share the tunnel with the trains. That would cut down on journey times!
They might also be being careful to avoid flight paths to use the defence, if caught, that they were not endangering aircraft.
In my mind, some sort of acoustic triangulation similar to that used to locate gunshots in cities could be effective at tracking the drones as it may not need line of sight.
It might take a while to write the software to pick out a quadcopter from the other noise, however.
Is better coverage.
I've been with Orange, then EE all my working life, as the coverage had been pretty good, and I'm just uncertain about anybody else.
I guess I'd never believe the coverage maps provided by operators, so there is no effective way of assessing the competition without the hassle and expense of another phone and sim, then the hassle of moving.
Puts me off far more than cost. :-/
