The U.S. Space Force is tracking debris in space after a satellite manufactured by Boeing exploded earlier this week, the satellite's operator said.
The Intelsat 33e satellite, which was launched in 2016 and provides communications across Europe, Asia and Africa, experienced "an anomaly" on Saturday, Intelsat said in a news release. Attempts were made to work with Boeing and repair the satellite, but on Monday, the U.S. Space Force confirmed that the satellite had exploded.

Old saying: If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.
New saying: If it’s Boeing, it’s exploding.
Elon Musk, save us.

Lame stream media is doing deep research to determine how Trump made this happen.

What can explode on a satellite? It might have fuel for maintaining orbit.
Might have been damaged by the recent CMEs.

Likely had liquid fuel on board, either hydrazine or hypergolic fuels, for orientation movement. Probably a valve failure or fuel leak. A hypergolic propellant is a rocket propellant combination used in a rocket engine, whose components spontaneously ignite when they come into contact with each other.
Just had a flashback of my days at Rocketdyne.

Boeing should have put Musk in charge of their space program and satellites.

I’ve said it here before and I’ll say it again. DIE is going to destroy our infrastructure. It’s already happening. No one wants to hire the competent, knowledgeable, and experienced employee, and risk falling foul of government regulations regarding hiring only black women, gay men, or trans-GIBLETS.
Companies are scared of the activists and have let them take over their corporate Boards so that any discussion regarding products and quality control devolves into “how many trans have we hired this month” or “How many abortion incentive bonuses will be paid this year?”
