Active sattelites would probably be devestating too, not only because they crash, but mostly because they are sattelites being used for something.
All people that research the universe and stuff would go in a huge nerd rage.
And lots of people would get lost due to the lack of GPS.

...And we're practically back to the satellite hijacking thing again.

Hell, if we're going to hijack sattelites, we should try subtle modifications. Derailing global shipping and airtraffic shouldn't be so hard. I doubt anyone there can navigate on the stars, and they'll be lost on open sea before they notice anything.

Hehe, that would indeed be nice.
But wont they notice that their coordinates suddenly shifted by 50 degrees?

They'd also notice if a satellite fell into their backyard.

Selected targeting would be required.
We don't want to crash the Internet.
We could get rid of satellite TV though...

I did say subtle.  There's a small problem though. I forgot about the invention of the compass.

Perhaps, We could send a rain of artificial meteors to redirect them for us.

How many average people can use a compass properly?
Our reliance on tech may be our downfall.

[miauw62]

Compas is kinda easy.
If we could selectively make them drop, we could have them crash in nuclear plants and other high-importance targets. Pentagon, anyone?

I was chatting with the person I met a few pages back, and while we were talking about a moonbase for reasons that don't matter right now, she mentioned weaponizing the moon. I think this was while we were talking about exporting power to Earth.
She'd fit right in.

[Vorthon]

Are there any plans for tackling the outer solar system?

I suggest using Io as a prison moon to dump any undesirables on.

WEAPONIZING THE MOON, WEAPONIZING THE MOON...

BINGO! We threaten to demolish moon or crash it into earth.
Just demolishing / stealing it would muck up the tides, etc.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It would also cost us the best point to stage an attack on the groundhogs from, and probably wipe out all macroscopic life on Earth. She was thinking more like firing lasers at Terran targets.

On satellite hijacking - why not manipulate the GPS sattelites into giving information that is slightly... off? That's not a major modification, but quite a few sailors will notice that the Panama canal seems awfully cold that time of year.

Apparantly, if a GPS satellite is a cm (or something) off, that equates to about 2m on the ground (I think).

Geez. Well, just push them a few mm/hour or so off-course and if they don't go hurtling into the ground or off into space, it'll screw things up.
