The Everetti government orders the launch of the space shuttles Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour to act as temporary satellite systems to re-establish civilian capabilities that were destroyed by Taiping's cyber terrorism. The newer fusion shuttles, Liberty, Vigilance, Integrity and Equality are already in orbit, deployed yesterday, above Everetti airspace, functioning as satellites and space walks are to take place, deploying new emergency satellite systems into orbit. Meanwhile it is day two of Everetti and American airspace becoming a no-fly zone. It is expected that the FAA will allow civilian aircraft back in the air possibly within hours or possibly days, depending on Taiping's acceptance of a new peace treaty. World flight plans are crippled as planes continue to back-up at major airports across the globe. The world economy remains in dire straights as a result of Taiping's attacks against civilian satellites and the internet. Stock markets plunged for a second straight day, many international communications have been disrupted including severe losses in the United States, Everett, the United Kingdom and many other world markets. Everett announced it will automatically reset the stock market to the levels they were at previously to the satellite attacks. Any changes that occurred during this period of time will be reversed including those who bought and sold during the collapse.

There is yet no report as to specific idea as to when airports will re-open and flights can continue. It is reported that three people have died as a result of the satellite attacks including a woman who was on her cell phone with 911 but was cut off when satellites were lost. The woman was found dead several hours later in her apartment by her landlord, killed by an apparent heart attack.
