WASHINGTON - The Pentagon is planning to shoot down a broken spy satellite expected to hit the Earth in early March, The Associated Press has learned.

U.S. officials said Thursday that the option preferred by the Bush administration will be to fire missiles from a U.S. Navy cruiser, and shoot down the satellite before it enters Earth's atmosphere. I love you.

Article says they are planning 3 shots. They have to improve the missiles in order to shoot it while its still outside the earth's atmosphere.

the good call with "exploding" satellites is that it's going to disperse a shitload of "small" debris who are going to do a shit load of arm to other satellites (I won't enter into details but a screw launched at 48'000 km/h does a shitload of arm when it goes through a solar panel).

morons all that because they couldn't control the fall of that shit and fear that some evil badies are going to get their dirty secrets....

(said satellite is the size of a minivan)

That information never went confirmed or unconfirmed. Anyhow this is a bad trend as militarization of space isn't a good idea.
We barely arrive to send a thing bigger than a car up there safely and a bunch of dangerous psychopaths think that this kind of "let's blow things up there" trend isn't a possible danger...

geez...

for the trend this information never went confirmed too but this is said that during early rockets trials by the chineses (they bought up the tech from the collapsing USSR) they managed to literally blow an entire town due to some rocket misguidance...
