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. Eisboch |

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. |

Remember the three HDD's that Chinese agent took from Alemeda with a slap on the wrist, ( remember the 3 million campaign contribution the Chinese military gave Billary before their final presidential run)? China shot a sattelite down a few months back probably with our technology, we just want them to know we can do it too... |

True sometimes, except that in the situation I mentioned, our survival was threatened in no way. We were publicly scolding Pakistan, saying we "suspected" they were making nuclear weapons. Privately, Reagan was helping them build those weapons, while wasting years of intelligence gathering by NSA & CIA. We could've stopped A.Q. Kahn in the early 1980s, before he sold technology to Iran & Libya. Hey...that sounds familiar. |

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. Fix the bin named for yourself. Uh, bozo's bin I think it is. It's 'character', Harry. -- John H |

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. They are going to shoot it down right before it enters the atmosphere. So, where are they gonna' "set" it down? Did you tell them yet? Do you have a good place to watch from? You know, if you have em' bust it right over your house, it would probably land on Harrys' LTP...;)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - With the rocket going up, and Tom looking for a place to sit and observe, I am reminded of this clip, ......only in reverse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcW_Ygs6hm0 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. --Mike "JimH" wrote in message ... "HK" wrote in message ...
