The Nuclear “Minotaur V” Based on breaking news and events, it appears that there is a real possibility of a major state-sponsored cyber-terror attack targeting the Minotaur V rocket launch and the U.S. power grid. According to NASA, on September 6, 11:27 p.m. (EDT), the Minotaur V rocket will launch from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport Pad 0B at the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Minotaur V will allegedly be carrying the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) satellite into orbit. The Minotaur V was derived from the Minotaur IV, itself a derivative of the nuclear LGM-118 Peacekeeper ICBM. Minotaur V’s launch will be the first lunar mission to be launched from Virginia and is anticipated to be visible along much of the eastern seaboard from New York to Virginia. Why this particular rocket is being launched from Virginia as opposed to Florida is highly suspicious, especially considering the launch is scheduled for a Friday night in a calculated move to gain the most “live” viewers. Should the rocket be attacked, it is possible that its explosion could have an EMP-like effect as a burst of electromagnetic nuclear radiation causes a blackout of the U.S. electrical grid over New York City and a majority of the East Coast.
