By cable I’m assuming you guys are talking about cable TV. The majority of people get internet via RF cable. And the best possible connection, optical fiber, is just another cable. It’s not cable per se you hate.
Seeing a lot of tweets about the Russians on ISS, I don’t feel like trying to decipher the tweets as they’re already like level 4 memes, someone give me the cliff notes
Quickly looked. Russians conducted an anti-satellite test. Debris from the test crossed the orbit of the space station. Astronauts hunkered down. Not sure if this will cause on-going issues but these kinds of tests are colossally stupid.
Edit: The hunkering down was in capsules currently docked at ISS. Not sure why the capsules are safer. Maybe just smaller cross-section.
Spoiler! I haven’t watched Gravity. Seriously though, those Hollywood people are pretty imaginative.
The orbital physics of the movie are a bit dubious.

Reality is kind of boring. And inconvenient. Too many rules. Feynman used to say he was doing imagination in a tight straight-jacket.
As far as I can tell, they go to the capsules in case they need to evacuate.

Neil Degrasse Tyson had the best tweet response to Gravity, saying that it should have been called Angular Momentum.
