Well, there you have it, why loft your own satellites when you can Crypto AG those of others and let them pay you to screw them. Who cares who owns and feeds the cows in the sky so long as you can suckle the backdoored data for free. No doubt NSA is happy with this piggish arrangement too, piggybacking on the Russkies' porgy and bess to keep aloft the urgent need for more US natsec billionish boondoggles out of the NASA, NRO and Space Command. Meanwhile the spook boots on the ground get all the gash cash to pry the sat software out of the adnoids of dick-led and pussywhipped cipher coders who once believed they'd rule the world with unfathomable primes.
