Skynet military launch postponed

The launch of the third and final satellite in the UK's next-generation military space communications network has been delayed by a few days.

The Skynet 5C platform was due to fly from French Guiana on Friday but technicians called a halt to the countdown just hours before lift-off.

I always get a laugh when I see something about that...

Is this another viral ad for The Terminator?

Skynet is the company in that film and there is a thread about all the viral ads they done which I can't seem to find at the moment.

No this is a real world military satellite. I just find it funny whenever it's reported since they usually report something going wrong with it, most unlike how well the fictional counterpart of it functions well.

Skynet satellites.
