Level
B2 English
Objective

A dangerous software failure almost destroyed an important satellite communication system belonging to a telecommunications supplier during a storm in Mexico. Engineers believed that a computer worm, poor maintenance, and human error caused the problem.
The engineers finally restored the system, but millions of people were close to losing communication services.
Discussion Questions

- In your opinion, what was the biggest problem in the story:
- the computer worm,
- human error,
- or poor maintenance?
- Should governments invest more money in cybersecurity for satellites and communication systems?
- Do you think AI could manage satellite emergencies better than humans in the future?
- What could happen if communication satellites stopped working for one full day?
- Would you personally like to work in a high-pressure technology job like Andrés or Lucía? Why or why not?

What do you think we would do without satellites on Earth?
