"Skynet 6"...
I don't have a good feeling about this.
Oh My God... It’s an actual spaceship!
lol
HMS Jupiter!
HMS Mars Attacks?!
HMS Dreadnought 2.0 intergalatic boogalo
Now that would be the dream. The UK launching the first ever military spaceship. Imagine if we could claim that title on top of everything else.😆👌🏼😎
Woah back up. We are putting money into something called Skynet?!
Sky-Net has been the name of the UKs space program to watch for missiles for decades.
The Skynet 1 to 4 series were developed and operated by the Signals Research and Development Establishment, Royal Signals and Radar Establishment and Royal Air Force until 2003.[2] It was subsequently operated with Skynet 5 by Paradigm Secure Communications until October 2012, when the organisation was rebranded to Astrium Services then through merger in 2015 became Airbus Defence and Space.[3]
The MoD is currently specifying a new architecture for Skynet to replace the Skynet 5 system, whose funding programme ends in August 2022. The vision for Skynet 6 is a flexible system architecture that combines UK government, allied and commercial satellites, including the current Skynet 5 satellites.[4][5] Skynet is the large part of the MoD Future Beyond Line of Sight Satellite Communications programme (FBLOS), which extends to 2041, with expected transition costs of about £6 billion.
@@petermallia558 very cool! (And very expensive!) Thanks for the information 👍
Given that 2 SKYNET satellites were launched at the end of September 1969 and put into equatorial geo-stationary orbits at about 40 - 50 deg east (ie between Mombasa and the Seychelles) the system is probably due for an upgrade ! If I remember correctly the associated shipborne (SCOT) system first went operational in late 1970 in HM ships Fearless and Intrepid.
I wonder how many people even realise that The "Terminator" movies actually got its name for Sky-Net from of our UK space agency and defense programs beginning in 1960, but Sky-Nets initial operations began with its launched if it's 2A satellite in 1974.

Finally, something actually designed and built in Britain, for Britain. And in fact even actually launched in many cases from Britain.👌🏼👏🏼 Now this, this is what we should be pushing. We need to show that we can take the lead in the sector just as much as anyone else. Especially when there is so little effort right now in truly tackling the ever increasing problem with space debris. If we could develop a fleet of satellites to truly help to clean up this debris en masse, it would be a real game changer for us as a nation. Not to mention for the wider world in space travel.
Know if we can only push this hard in developing our own vehicles rather than just borrowing one from the US and build more of our own tanks than cutting them it would be even better.👍🏼
It's 'Safe Space Advisors' that are needed in our Armed Forces these days.😂😂
Wow a spaceship & star fleet command
Just imagine if we developed that first rather than the US. That would be a real punch to their gut. LOL
@@danielwhyatt3278 people here don’t even care to know where the UK is.
UK SPACE FORCE LETS GOOOO
1:57 skynet 6
We're launching a satellite next year? Fantastic, having that capacity means we can finally have as many satellites as our defence needs.
Yeah, we are really playing catch up right now. Thankfully though, with the way we are doing it it will probably be better organised and less ridiculous than the American one. There’s feels just as threatening as any other.
Anyone watched "space above and beyond", one day one of these will be in space.
Loved that show ;P
That show ended way too soon.
And they got Skynet 1 to 5 past us without us knowing 🤔
To see if the Navy can find morale in space for the crew.
Ohhhhhhhhhh, I though they meant “space” as in where to put everything.
I could have done a damn good job at decluttering for them. I guess I’m not needed then (walks away in a disconsolate manner...)
"Skynet" 6 - ??!
He's going to sort all their cupboards out
All hail skynet
bruh got dem airpods SHHEEEEESHHHH🤯❄️💦
Says "is working with the U.S. military". Then shows a Euro fighter.
We should probably clean up space around the world before starting a war partially fought in space
Post-Brexit, the UK is once and for all free to do what it’s always envisioned for their own interest without the shackles of the EU.
An AVM repeatedly saying "ya know" whilst presenting 🙁
Beautiful ship, bright future, but Royals are a dying breed and it should have had a modern name to go with the modernised forces.
Skynet is real ! I was joking on the last video guys ...
I wonder where Sarah Connor is now ...lol
Start making mining barges we can control from home.
Hmmm.... Stellaris
if space X can keep starship on track maybe the UK can buy some. time for some NATO space marines lol
That's the last thing we should want. If countries want to fight, do it on the ground. There is no place for war in space. Not when everything up there wants to kill you already.
@@majorhippo2772 Exactly! Lets not repeat our mistakes on earth in space
Nothing new
Why does the commentator have cigarettes in his ears?
WTF? The only way anyone ever goes into "space" is in their imagination!
What?
@nepafu666 You'd hope...

Well a war in space just really means blowing up satellites to destroy communication, GPS etc I don't think they would want to put people up there to fight each other so there's really no need to clean up space atm just don't make it any worse and we should be fine
