didn't we also shoot down one of our own retired satellites some time later in response? That should be one of the top "polluters," too, you'd think, right?)
We shot ours down as it was tumbling from orbit and about to crash into the Earth (no space derbis left behind). The story was we did it to vaporize it's toxic fuel but most likely it was to show off our capabilities.
And now for the really paranoid thought for the day: do any anti-Western countries have the ability to throw a bunch of nuts and bolts high enough into space to knock out satellites?
