The official expressed concern that sensitive information — notably command data for European satellites — is unencrypted, because many were launched years ago without advanced onboard computers or encryption capabilities.

Maybe those should be replaced?

Do you have some B€ to spare?
Uuh yeah i do (because taxes), but its being funneled into the pockets of corrupt politicians, the car industry and AI slop.
Hah. I don’t disagree that money is not well used, but trust me, replacing those satellites is no small endeavour on many levels: Industrial capacity, launch capacity, workforce capacity, cost, will…
What the fuck are we in the 1910’s???
