Air Force Sets First Post In Ambitious Space Fence Project 65
coondoggie writes "The US Air Force this week said it will base the first Space Fence radar post on Kwajalein Island in the Republic of the Marshall Islands with the site planned to be operational by 2017. The Space Fence is part of the Department of Defense's effort to better track and detect space objects which can consist of thousands of pieces of space debris as well as commercial and military satellite parts."

I believe you just wasted the chance of making the first relevant "First Post" in Slashdot history.
Funny, but false. I've made relevant FPs and had them modded +5 insightful before, and I'm not the only one. And I try to avoid FPs because just being FP can get your comment modded so low that making it was a waste of time, no matter how good a comment it is. If you want to be seen, be the second poster and reply to the "funny" FP with something interesting.
