The US has decided to shoot down a failed satellite that is expected to drop
out of orbit in early March.
There is concern that half of the 5,000 lb satellite may remain intact and
hit the earth in a yet unknown area.

The plan is to shoot it down before it enters the earth's atmosphere with a
missile fired from a US Navy ship.

Details at 11.

Apparently it's some version of the missile that has a 11 out of 13
success rate in testing.

Love to watch the shot - that ought to be fun to watch. *

Sure, sure. It will all be lots of fun until someone pokes their eye out.- Hide quoted text -

The article stated that they have a "modified" missile they are
going to launch from a naval ship in the Pacific. The questions I
have is what altitude will the missile intercept the satellite
and how long have we been working on this "modified" missile?

I can't see us coming up with a "modified" missile, launched from
a surface vessel, in just a couple of months that is capable of
intercepting an object in space.

I believe this is an opportunity to flex our muscles.
Ask the Chinese..they'll shoot down your garbage for you.
The Chinese are using our technology, which Bill Clinton illegally
gave them access to, Donny!


Yeah. That was bad. Almost as bad as the Reagan crew who sabotaged a
perfectly planned sting operation which would've stopped Pakistan
from illegally buying maraging steel for use in their nuclear weapon
program.

Crazy presidents. They're such wise guys, ya know?


Geo-politics don't you love it. Just think what would have happened
if in 1812 we just said the hell with it, Britain you can have us back?

You have to do what is needed at the time to ensure your survival.
You can think 20 or 30 years in the future but what you do today may
mean you don't exist in 20 or 30 years.





This is based upon your many years of serving abroad with the Marine
Corps in dangerous situations, no doubt.

No Harry, I actually only served as a reservist and was never sent
overseas.


Big whoop.

Why did you cut out the rest of my response?

Do you have anything to say about your problem telling the truth?

Bertie, your military service is most impressive, and it says a lot
about the Marine Corps, picking up the fact that you were unfit for any
sort of serious duty.

Harry, attacking a Marine's service or anyone else's service is quite low.
Considering you had none, it's extremely low.

Of course, it's in being with your 'character', so some probably think it's
quite 'cool'.

I don't.


I'm very impressed with the men and women who serve this country in this
country in volunteer fire departments. It's risky business and it makes
a difference.

Well... what happens if most of the way up the missle sputters and
peters out? then gravity tugs on the warhead then here it comes.

One of the most fun things to do in this world is watch a missile shoot.
I got to watch a HAWK missile shoot quite a number of years ago. It was
almost as much fun as blowing up stuff yourself.

I'd pay money to be in the CIC of that cruiser when they shoot the bird
down.

Look, the guy is just a douche bag. Nothing more. He's a liar, and has no
friends. We should all just do our best and ignore him. Yes... I'll be the
first to take my own advice. Wait... as a matter of fact, I'll place him in
MY bozo bin... right next to the only other person there, the MI5 idiot.
Done.

This place will be much nicer without him.
