Ok, so the Navy is going to shoot down a satellite. How cool is that?
When I heard about the US shooting down this spy satellite, I was quite impressed. Maybe I shouldn’t–maybe I should be looking into the conspiracy theories–and oh I could think of a few–but I was just impressed that they are going to try it.
Do I think it can be done?
Of course, they can. That would be pretty dorky if they missed–no they will hit it. The sad thing is–it will probably all be classified and no one will be able to watch it. One day it will be up there, and the next day–it will not. The End.
But I still think that it is pretty cool. Think about it. A ground to air attack from hundreds of miles away. For free–basically. The spy satellite is broke..apparently has been broke since it took off. So it is a free target to test some super cool stuff. And it helps the environment. We can’t let that stuff fall to earth can we–there is like chemicals that will burn up in the atmosphere so they won’t explode when they land on a city.
Any way. I thought that was a cool thing–to shoot a satellite out of the sky. It’d be fun to watch.
