Russian ?space troops? are ?not yet ready to fight aliens?, warns official
Even with years of training and the nickname of ?space troops?, Russia?s?Aerospace Defence Troops would lack the ability to handle an extra-terrestrial attack, a Russian defense official has warned.
Russia?s Aerospace Defense Troops are ?not yet ready to fight aliens?, an official warned Wednesday during a media conference.
The official?s warning came in response to a question asked by a journalist at a media conference at?the Titov Main Test and Space Systems Control Center, located 25 miles outside of the Russian capital, Moscow.
Sergey Berezhnoy, the?center?s deputy chief, responded to the unexpected question with a short statement.
?We are unfortunately not ready to fight extraterrestrial civilizations, our center was not tasked with it. There are too many problems on Earth and near it.?
The Russian Space Forces were founded shortly after the break-up of the Soviet Union, but were replaced by the?Russian Aerospace Defense Forces in 2011. The military branch controls approximately 80% of the country?s satellites, and is mainly responsible for both air and missile defense, but its duties notably also include the protection of Russia from ?potential threats to the Russian Federation in space and from space?.
Amongst the center?s facilities are a ?ballistic missile launch warning center?, ?a center for space surveillance? and a ?strategic missile testing range.?
Despite this ominous warning from a defense official, Russia Today ? the first agency to report the news of this comment ? were very quick to reassure their readers that ?while they may not as yet be able to deal with an alien attack, Russia?s space troops at least have extremely effective and high-tech means for dealing with terrestrial issues and threats.?

British broadcaster David Frost dies aged 74
British TV giant David Frost, who interviewed the world's great and good in a half-century broadcasting career, has died aged 74 of a heart attack on board the Queen Elizabeth cruise liner, his family said Sunday.
Frost, celebrated for his 1977 talks with Richard Nixon that extracted an unexpected apology from the disgraced US president over the Watergate scandal, died Saturday.
Operator Cunard said the ship left its British home port of Southampton on Saturday on a 10-day Mediterranean.
"Sir David Frost died of a heart attack last night aboard the Queen Elizabeth where he was giving a speech," his family said in a statement.
"His family are devastated and ask for privacy at this difficult time," the statement said. "A family funeral will be held in the near future and details of a memorial service will be announced in due course."
Frost's interviewees read like a who's who of the rich and famous, from big names in show business to world leaders, including South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela.
Frost was the only person to have interviewed the last eight British prime ministers and the last seven US presidents before Barack Obama, and the last person to have interviewed the last shah of Iran, the Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.
Other subjects included Mikhail Gorbachev, Vladimir Putin, Yasser Arafat, F. W. de Klerk, Jacques Chirac and Benazir Bhutto.
"Hello, good evening and welcome" became his catchphrase, starting off interviews with a friendly veneer that belied a blunt determination to extract information.
"His scrupulous and disarming politeness hid a mind like a vice," said Menzies Campbell, former leader of Britain's Liberal Democrats. "David Frost could do you over without you realising it until it was too late."
The lengthy interviews with Nixon were crucial for both men -- Nixon was hoping to salvage his reputation for history, while Frost wanted to add another feather to his cap of famous interviews .
In the end, Frost wrung a mea culpa from Nixon over Watergate, the dirty tricks scandal which prompted his resignation in 1974 and left a lasting scar on the US political landscape.
"I let down my friends, I let down the country," the former president said.
Frost told BBC television in 2009: "We knew what we were trying to do ... and in the end his 'mea culpa' went further than even we had hoped.
"At the end of that I think we were aware that something sort of historic had happened and we'd gone further than expected."
The encounter was turned into a play entitled "Frost/Nixon", which was adapted into a 2008 film with Michael Sheen playing Frost and Frank Langella as Nixon. It was nominated for five Oscars.
Outside world affairs, Front's roster included Orson Welles, Tennessee Williams, Noel Coward, Elton John, Woody Allen, Muhammad Ali, the Beatles, Clint Eastwood, Anthony Hopkins, John Gielgud, Norman Mailer, Warren Beatty among countless others.
British Prime Minister David Cameron hailed Frost as "an extraordinary man -- with charm, wit, talent, intelligence and warmth in equal measure.
"He made a huge impact on television and politics. The Nixon interviews were among the great broadcast moments -- but there were many other brilliant interviews," Cameron said in a statement.
"He could be -- and certainly was with me -- both a friend and a fearsome interviewer."
The son of a Methodist minister, David Paradine Frost was born in Kent, southeast England, on April 7, 1939.
Fresh out of Cambridge University, he presented the BBC's groundbreaking "That Was The Week That Was", which took an unprecedented satirical look at the week's news between 1962 and 1963.
A globetrotter, Frost revelled in the Concorde jet-set high life, presenting five programmes a week in the United States and three in Britain.
In 1983, he married Lady Carina Fitzalan-Howard, second daughter of the Duke of Norfolk -- the premier duke in the English nobility. They had three sons.
A successful businessman, Frost was knighted in 1993, becoming Sir David.
The broadcaster wrote 17 books, produced several films and started two British television networks, London Weekend Television and TV-am.
He began working for Al Jazeera in 2006.

Librarians throw book at 'em in Beastie Boys spoof
Music 
40 minutes ago
The 1994 video for the Beastie Boys' song "Sabotage" is regarded as one of the greatest music videos of all time. If you're skeptical that it could be re-imagined with librarians as the central characters, just give it a look.
The spoof video, created at Chicago's Francis W. Parker School, is going viral after after being shared on the New York Public Library Tumblr page, among many other places. The work is the creation of comedians Mike Ferbrache and Duane Freeman. Freeman is a middle school counselor and Ferbrache is a third grade teacher at Parker. The two run a Vimeo page called the Mike and Duane Show.
"We have been doing this for 10 years as part of a variety show and have a lot of parodies that involve administration, faculty, students, and staff," Freeman told TODAY.com on Tuesday.
It all pays respect to the Spike Jonze-directed video in which the hip-hop trio of Mike D, MCA and Ad Rock portray 1970s-era detectives. In that classic, the Beasties sport fake mustaches and aviator shades as they race after bad guys, jump over the hood of their cop car, and eat donuts ? among other police-related pursuits.
The remake features real librarians from the Francis W. Parker School giving chase among the bookshelves. It has the same look and feel of the original, and even uses a camera mounted on a book cart to mimic the view from the top of a cop car in the Beastie Boys' version.?
The featured librarians get mock names, too. Anne Duncan is "Story Time," Cathy Connelly is "The Techie," and Stephanie McMurray stars as "Late Fee."
"Sabotage" was nominated for five awards at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards. It lost in every category: three times to Aerosmith's "Cryin," and twice to R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts." MCA, dressed as Nathaniel Hornblower,?famously rushed the stage during Michael Stipe's acceptance speech to protest the shutout. In 2009, the video was honored at the VMAs with Best Video (That Should Have Won a Moonman).
