O.K. the way this thread has progressed was not the intent of the original post.

We shot down our own satellite because:

1.) It contained valuable, CONFIDENTIAL TOP SECRECT INFORMATION.

2.) If it had crashed it could have been catastrophic. Releasing chemicals that would not be very nice for any of you humans where it might have fallen.

3.) Yes we did prove a point. We all think the cold war is over, it isn't.


So there!!

BTW One Hell of a strike, (at a target going over 18000 miles per hour)

XXXOOOXXX
