This should be interesting.

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.

To what purpose? Unless they can blow it to pieces or change its
trajectory to their liking what will it accomplish except perhaps test
a "star wars" device.
Should be interesting watching this develop.


Ding, ding, ding! Give that man a prize.
