  • you better watch out Russia and China lol

  • They say microwave frequency cuts right through the brain like butter, is that why so many people are having melt downs?

  • Pretty crazy stuff.

  • i want another space race this time with china & russia collaborating so we'll just kick their asses and go all the way to mars

  • neverrr fuck with the chinese and russian thats like a fight for human destruction are u crazy!!

  • US could take em both at the same time

  • @d3p3ch3mod3 Doubt it. If you started a war with the chinese you wouldn't be able to afford the weapons.

  • china & russia haven't even put a man on the moon yet, the only reason US hasnt been to mars & jupiter is we don't feel like it

  • you sound stupid as fuck please dont ever try to run for any u.s government spot...if you already are, quit..save all the american people there lives...if you want to go fuck with china and russia take your family and go do it your self...if not shut the fuck up and be the coward you are and dont speak for the rest of the U.S

  • I think public support for the space program could come back without a Cold War. China still wants to go to the moon, there is such a thing as friendly competition. If China and Russia both went Americans would want to go to Mars to be number one again instead of just wasting money on wars.

  • space program not a war fool!...you said " U.S can take them both at the same time"..nothing about launching a space program...w.e

  • Sit down, STFU, TAKE your medication, and let the MEN handle this, you cuddle-bunny.

  • go suck your ur mothers dick you lab rat

  • @d3p3ch3mod3 More like the only reason you WENT there was because you thought the Russians were going to take the moon for their own.

  • Nice - right in the thermal exhaust port ftw! ^__^

  • jj mnasdůandfjbsvc

  • shit how fast was that missile going? hope the US doesnt shoot down the galactic federation of light spaceships when they come

  • Knowing Earth and sci-fi, attempts at communication and peace would be first.

  • Nah man people would piss there pants and shoot them down with nukes after they attacked us back with their huge lazerz

  • this is a stupid thing, the space waste produced is very very dangerous for satellites and space missions

  • no its not. it blew it up so good there is no more space debris now. thats how small the pieces were

  • Not really, we did it alot cleaner than the chinese mainly because we did ours at alot lower altitude. Although I understand your concern, the chinese shoot down was sloppy and left alot of the debris out there

  • its cool we get to see what a sci fi explosions are supposed to look like!

  • huh, a spy sattelite, owned by whom?

  • @ finiras: it was a US satellite

  • the U.S.

  • It is nothing like Armageddon, despite the fact of the 1000's of football sized pieces raining down in a toxic hellfire.

  • Hey guys, how about instead of trying to explain "Oh U.S.A is trying to scare you, we can kill you" comments you all just shut up and watch the little space doo-dad explode in the sky.

  • yes i agree

  • the whole point of shooting this down was to show other countries that they can handle anything even from space.

    to scare other countries.

    hell the sattelight might have been still working!

  • working one would costs a bit too much for firework.

    They just tested one more variant of ASAT and minimized chance of their spy hardware reaching unauthorized collectioners. ;]

  • like i said, its the radio waves caused by the snapping magnetic fields that travel through space. when they arrive on the ground, they turn into sound waves when interacting with nearby, small metal objects

  • Man, I hate those X-men...

  • I wonder why they coulnt show the entire footage in one piece...hmm, maybe cause it might be fake?

  • the reason the footage is in two pieces is because it is actually two videos... the first half was taken from the ground, the second part was taken through the lens of a telescope

  • celkem trapný

  • I like this video

    of the explosion of the

    spy satellite

    I wish they going to use

    for the last episode of Palos

    but the bad news is they shown

    of the spy satellite on

    tv patrol world :(

  • I hope the missile can

    destroy Asteroid on 2029

  • this video was ok. I liked it!

  • Very cool! Missed it on the news. Got caught up now!

  • haha you guys trip me up...go to google type in asteroid 2029 its all research...

  • they didnt the explosion footage was taken from a telescope on earth

  • dont worry - the navy fired the missile, but Air Force Space Command did everything else

  • it was warheadless - the explosion was from the tank full of hydrzine it carried

  • The DoD offered to give them all the details, same as our allied countries. It shut them up.

  • first we should start changeing that electoral bullshit a law 300 years old before we even start voting so wake up were in 2008

  • How come you couldn't shoot that terrorist in Times Square with your pathetic missile?

  • Wow so thats where my taxes go. Americans shooting their own satellite. The stupid American government lying to their tax payers by experimenting with poisonous satellites and atomic bombs or other weapons in wars, but no wonder they dont know how to use technology they stole it in WW2 from the Germans just like the Russians did.

  • Dude, youre an idiot. We shot down the satellite because it went defunct less than 24 hours into orbit, so it was still carrying a full fuel load of the chemical hydrazine. The government didnt want that particular dangerous chemical falling on your head, so, they chose to shoot it down. Jesus christ.

  • the air force- what a bunch of pussies

  • On behalf of the air force, i accept your graciousness and vow to continue protecting your ass

  • haha nice comeback

  • lol burn

  • Accidentally hit the thumbs down...

    nice one!

  • ROFL, great comeback!

  • @skystreak22

    That's one story. The Chinese claim it was military weapon and the U.S. didn't want the technology getting in the hands of other nations. I'm just saying there's two sides to every story.

  • haha owned

  • lol obviously. there isn't any Oxygen in space.

  • anyone using this event as some soapbox to spew anti-US sentiment, is a moron...mate.

  • lol so jealous of our great nation... and i'm not your mate...

  • there is nothing to be jealous about that..

  • Shit American, put ur waste inside of your Country and dont drop in out in asia, we encounter adnormal sick which not common

  • i think toxic from satellite is not gone, it spead out in air, hope this was vaporizer's on heat of sun :(

  • It exploded over the Pacific heading east smart guy.

  • Shit Asia, put ur waste inside of your Country and dont drop in out in "space", it could much damage Russian cosmonauts or American astronauts...

  • they good robin hood shooting the missile

    good aim

  • It is obvious that this is just a show of power, otherwise they would have just used one of the scalar platforms to get rid of the satellite.

  • Some people just don't learn 8-) Can't you just take a F*CKING break! You frickin chauvinistic ****! Thank you, had to get that off my chest.

  • Eeeeehm, I'm dutch, but ehm, I'm a bit surprised by the way people are talking to each other here. First of all I'm not anti-US, but I do hate people that start threatening with blowing missiles and other nuclear shit to each other. If you can't win an argument and have to resort to threats about blowing up each other with big missiles, I think you are either childish or just compensating for something else. Nice vid btw.

  • OHH anti-american on a new high here, i love that people put so much effort into it. Just give up already no one cares about your opinon. Anyways hell of a nice shot.. and if you keep talking shit we may have to send one of these babies your way

  • and its idiots like you that make tthe world seem like another slice of hell

    well thank you for that

  • eh?

  • Canada is good for nothing but freeloading i think its time we act and finally wipe them out. they have to go they are useless nobody will miss them. name something Canada did that was good for the world. We should invade then take there oil just as a bonus. its one thing to save a country from an evil dictator but when the entire country is full of fags then nukes are the best answer.

  • lol GL with that canada has a stronger relation with every other country on the planet than the US. SO if you send 5 nukes they'll send 5000.

  • ya like other countries would risk being wiped out to save Canada, good old Canadian ignorance,i bet you think you have the world strongest military aswell huh?and why can't Canada fight for itself why does it have to rely on other countries when times are tough. We call that freeloading in any other country but Canada but in Canada they call it a way of life. moron

  • Canada is best at just about everything, the only thing we dont do best is clean up the shit that the U.S. makes. The modern day U.S. is that of WWII's nazi Germany.

  • omfg, stfu! u canadians dont do shit, you have to fucking hope that america can carry your sorry ass around! don't fucking say "canada is the best". Well u guys are the best at being fucking terds

  • there army is weak we fight there battles!

  • ggqbc, putting aside the utter incompetence in most of your post, I would like to point at that we (at least I) am not saying that Canada is the best at everything. That's not accurate. However, Canada is still a great country. All we're saying is that when we're bored, we don't think the best solution is to "simply" blow something up. Let it be a person, more recently a country, or in this case a satellite.

  • Also, Canada definitely has a much better reputation than the States any day. "The shoot now, ask questions later." policy has worked wonders for you. My suggestion would be to get out of the country first before asking people what they think of it. Everybody already knows that Americans love America.

  • i love how people like you can spit all over america and then beg and plead for us to help all around the world... believe me i would love for the U.S. to not have to deal with the world's shit. I'd love for us to focus on other things but these people disgusting people around the world force us to act. Don't cause the problems and get mad when we clean it up...

  • just saying it how it is. it just doesn't look like the U.S. is doing the world any favours by dealing with their "shit".

  • OH MY GOD

    Take a history lesson mate.

    America does not have to deal with the worlds shit. We have done fine without you.

    Please elaborate as to these disgusting people Osama Bin Laden ??? CIA TRAINED Saddam Hussein ??? PUT IN POWER BY USA,SCIENTISTS TRAINED BY USA

    Basically any guerrilla army in the world has there weapons supplied by america, why? to get a foothold into political power.

    USA is a cancer on the earth.

  • if the government wants to live confortably in castles they have to make enemies to that they could take money from people and built them

  • CLEAN??? OMFG, you mess wityh everybody and then "clean" LOL

  • hahaha come, please! then well kick your asses like we did the first time, and then we will burn down the white house - again. America never learns from their mistakes.

  • as you know it's not America doing these things, but the Illuminaty.

  • First off..They are called the Illuminati ..

    Secondly .. Grow up, get a life, you are a fool

  • the first time? lol im sry who basically saved everyone in WW2? who advances technolagy faster than everyone else? usa. i hate 'em but we'd kick ur ass any day pal.

  • Wish a satellite would crash land here.

    I'd cash in the scrap metal,I need the money.

    lol.Btw Americans best people in the world,certainly the best workers!

  • for all you yanks that have such a big head woop dee doo you have bombs, Us Aussie are ashamed to have a foot solders with your troops. get better training. at same time it shits me to see so many head swells wow look at me i live in a country thats powerful who cares about ya bombs if a world war broke out again no matter how powerful any one is there will be no world left cause of human stupidity

    the end.

  • nobody said anything like you just said... nobody.I hate when dipshits like you fuckin talk shit about another countries army.Why would you Aussies (asses) be ashamed to fight side by side with a world power? Maybe the U.S should point its guns at you Aussie. It wouldn't even take half a nuclear warhead to finish off Australia. All that would have to be done is to take a school bus full of spec. ops. guys, send them to Australia, and that would be the end of that. mate

  • i rest my case ..... this what i mean world power who cares honestly and half a nuke head.... even so i rest my case even more more with talk like this.... spec ops... dude sas would eat them...

  • nice 60 million dollar job...hope it was worth it (no sarcasm intended)

  • Wow america did a mistake -_- now they gotta blow up there own shit thats dumb, at least test before you shot it out to space

  • yea like we are the only country to build something that malfunctions. how bout the countless times russia tried to build a spacecraft or any other country trying to copy our weapons. the fact that we shot it down with such accuracy shows the mighty technology the USA has.

  • yeah but its not something to be proud of, we are gonna regret it in the near future.

  • yea im sure they didnt test it before launch. its hard to test how it will react in space.

  • blow 'em all up, fuck 'em all, bombs away

  • wtf ur an idiot ofcourse an explosion can occur in space u fukin dumshit

  • dust to dust

  • Explosions happen in space. Ever heard of a supernova, dude?

    Shit explodes, but it looks different in space because there's no air to 'shape' the thing. Also, debris acts differently in a vacuum.

  • u can't be serious lol. get educated....PLEASE!!!

  • Moron of course there can be an explosion in space, planets explode all the time. There can be an explosion, but u cant hear it because sound waves cant travel through a non-meterial medium.

  • wrongly put correct answer to a future Jeopardy question.

  • give him credit. At least he questions things, and not believes everything the news says. (i think)

  • it is just a show of strenght to other nations that we (usa) are taking it to the next level.hype up the satilite to get everyones attention then show force(scare tactics to other nations)

  • GRONK!!!!

  • wow...fuckin wow.

  • i hate math o.O

  • Dude I'm christian I find it offening that you would spam youtube videos about reading the bible. Stop, you make the good christians look bad to everyone else. And in the end you scare more people away then you actually help.

  • Nothing done by this adm1n1strat10n ISN'T full of schzit. Put on your seatbelts, payback's a bitch!

  • Since when do US have it better than any other country in the world? And please justify this statement with a valid arguement, because from my point of view, your domestic problems are stacking like never before.

    IF (I'm not a conspiracy fanatic, I just don't per say believe in everything I hear through the media) this satellite contained toxics, nice job. Who gives a damn about show of powers then. Just as long as you all know that this satellite serving a health risc wasn't the only reason.

  • I hate that, people get mad at me for saying I dont like the US and they are like "your lucky to be in the best country in the world." I'm thinking were not.

  • Haha I love how all this video shows is the U.S. shooting down our own satellite and it suddenly brings out these global warming,riligious,and U.S. bashing finatics. Also why did the news call it a spy satellite. Pretty much any satellite can be a "spy" satellite this was just the next-generation of our (meaning the United States') communication satellites.

  • legal...

    Bem interessante...

  • With all due respect, ICMB's actually pass just below low earth orbit. In this regard they are very similar and obviously present the same target oportunity.

  • America........Fuck Yah!

  • Nice to see you have made some progress!

  • I would rather not have shit blowing up in space.

  • I don't get the comments. Its a video about a spy satellite getting blown up, and you guys are arguing. I suggest you consider getting a life.

  • A show of force, plain and simple. I love it!!!

  • Yeh, right. Free markets rely on exploitation which is why it works best in emerging markets. Saturated ones like in developed countries such as the US and Europe are having trouble keeping the laws of supply and demand at equilibrium as more people get educated and the white picket fence is still out of reach. If the latest economy 'boost' and housing bubble blast dont say anything is that pure capitalism is just as difficult to maintain as pure communism.

  • Why did we blow it up in the first place?

  • The same reason that someone climbed Everest.

    Because it was there. :)

  • lol-.- replying to darkphotn

  • The satellite's orbit was decaying. They predicted it would enter the atmosphere within a few weeks. FEMA has stated that the satellite contained possibly dangerous materials were it to burn up and/or crash.

  • Basically to show China that we can blow shit up in space too.

  • That will showem....lol

  • We were taking out satellites twenty years before they were with our ASAT missile. The difference was it was a two-stage launched from a climbing F-15 and destroyed the satellite with sheer kinetic energy. This one is a sea-launched three-stage and has an explosive warhead.

  • Yawn, China already did this last year.

  • China didnt launch it from a BOAT.

  • China didn't hit their satellite in low orbit. So instead of the debris breaking up in re-entry such as the US satellite, their debris is spinning in orbit, casing a hazard to every other satellite.

    The Chinese are simply not on par with the US and are very irresponsible.

  • I think you guys are straying from the real issue here...and that is that, that was totally awesome!!

  • Yay, fireworks!

  • Domestic Problems?

    how bout Border Control?

    To solve border control, invoke the 14th amendment, 1st cluase, stating that we can force any one to do labor to pay for a crime, in a court of law, then the punishment for ilg. immg. will be building a 10'x2' wall all accros the border, then de port the beaners and blow them to fuck! one nuke right in the middle of mexico city.

  • Learn the definition of rogue before you post English fool.

  • Whats all of you guys' problem? Instead of getting pissed off, just chill, besides its just a freakin satellite blowing up.

  • the sat. was falling at 17,000 mph

    which is an extremely excellent shot from the weapon which proves that a missile can be shot down

    making the u.s nation safe from any missile attack

    and if you dont believe me remember the satilite wa falling at 17,000 mph and any nuclear or wmd can travel half that speed so itll make it easier

  • All this is, is america flexing it's military muscle. That, and a blatent disregard for international laws. The american government should be ashamed of themselves. (once again). I have an idea for you america, instead of wasting billions of dollars on this kind of crap, why not look at the decay your country is in? why not fix some domestic problems instead of creating new international ones.

    this makes me sick. (and scarred)

  • whaa! i wonder how many other countries disregard international laws to the detriment of thier own people? china, russia, cuba; any of those names ring a bell? the balkans, the middle east?

    you say our country is in decay, but we still have it better than any other place on earth.

    btw, what third world shit hole are you from?

  • It's in decay fool. We don't have it better than any other country. Think of that while you vote McCain or Obaclinton fool

  • Better than any other place on earth? open your eyes, fool.

  • So basically what you're saying ezernut is that the USA is just as bad as cuba, russia and china? I thought that America was supposed to be the good guys? But if they're doing the same as the supposed "bad guys" doesn't that make them one of the bad guys too?

  • Yeah, Ezernut's questions and points need to be answered.

    But, first, I'll restate the most important one?: What third world shit hole are you from?

  • hahah! my country's called canada, asshole. canada; rated in the top 3 countries to live in world. america doesn't even crack the top ten. how many thousands of homeless people live in your country? your health care system is a joke. your entire social structure is a joke. do you know how many of your fellow americans are fleeing your country for mine? thousands. our dollar is worth more. americans traveling abroad are wearing the canadian flag instead of the american.

  • whats with canadians always saying "eh"

  • That ain't true. Some comedian invented it as a joke.

  • oh ok

  • That's how Canada got its name.

    C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?

  • POONITE STATES

  • Of course...whatever you deprived Canucks need to tell yourselves to feel better about your sorry excuse for a country. :-)

  • at least people are more free to smoke marijuana in Canada. government has no right to deny people that right

  • Of course not...if people are stupid enough to become potheads, they (and they alone) are responsible for what happens to them...which explains so much about Canada. :-)

  • damorg07 you asshole our health care system is worse than a third world country's.all the good doctors leave to go to the usa so they don't have to put up with socialist bullshit up here,plus they make a lot more money there.i don't know who you're trying to kid but canada is full of homeless "people". i hope all your american auto plants shut down and then you'll cry. why don't you stop watching american movies & watch canadian classics like the king of kensington on the peoples network

  • hi there - down maine we never had a problem neither way side of the border but since you are into canadian films - did you ever see the movie "Tramp at the Door"? I loved it very much - such a good subtle and yet telling film, check it out if you can and let me know what you think about it

  • I wish I had a dollar for every Canuck that was clogging up the streets of my hometown in Florida. I could retire early. Canada is harboring more terrorists than any other country in the world. You people handle that problem just like you do every other problem in the world: You turn your backs to it and let a country with some BALLS and backbone handle it for you. The next time, we should ignore the wayward satelite and let it land in the middle of Montreal.Always bitching and freeloading!

  • next time we'll just let it land on your country

    and then it would be our fault for killing hundreds of people

  • no next time just dont pump it full of poison you retard.

  • It happened, many hundreds of times. But those were missile fuel-tanks, not spy sats. As simple as this.

  • i was wondering how u can put this video (or any utube vid) on my i-pod?

  • i hope so, you neanderthall rice eaters and towel head need to be wiped out to ensure a safe world

  • extrememonkeyboner, why o you atch this video if you are so anti us govt, I mean i watched it becuase i like seeing military stuff, maybe you should stick to watching parliment question time and laughing while our govt robs us blind and do nothing about it except cmplain. I know why people dont like the us, and you cant say they would turn their back on us as you can see into the future. also i commented on miliary might not their govt so please dont insult yourself by replying again

  • God listen to you dopes. The amount of risk that much fuel poses is zilch naught zero. Second, the more show of power we present the merrier. Those of you who agree with me, and there are many posting here, go ahead and take the rest of the day off and give yourselves a huge round of applause.

  • this was nothing more than a show of power for America, it has "look what we can do" written all over it

  • What the fuck ever. If it were to land anywhere populated it would kill many innocent people.

  • Ummm.... there was something wrong with the satellite... it wasn't damaged it just got out of orbit.... no satellite had ever been that close to Earth...

  • Well that just makes you a poorly-informed bull-headed hippy. Now shut up and stop bitching over youtube. Act your damn age.

  • Only for people who immediately take a cynical point of view on things. We've been able to do this for 20+ years...

  • exactly, and they're showing the world they still can, and in one try!

  • But it's not necessary to do that. Anyone who matters in the grand scheme of geopolitics knows that we've been able to do this since the 1980s. Technology like this doesn't just go away. The fact is that this satellite had been damaged and out of control ever since it was launched two years ago and it was close to re-entering the atmosphere. We had no idea where it would crash and the toxic fuel could have killed people on the ground. That's the only reason why we shot it down...simple as that.

  • You must be really gullible to think that's the main reason.
