Did you spot this on the news today?
The British military's Skynet 5 satellite has been launched into space from Kourou in French Guiana.
What's the problem?
Apparently Skynet is simply the name for a family of military satellites (family of satellites they sound so cute and cuddly)
Well did you ever see the Terminator movies?

In those movies a military supercomputer called Skynet, takes over the world and practically wipes out the human race.
The movie makers probably got the name from the Skynet satellites which were first launched back in the 70s. But still... pretty spooky, just tempting fate if you ask me.
