Why does the video keep on showing ISS instead of the spy satellite? But yeah, this was an exciting missile test by the U.S. Even though the government claims it was to "protect people from the falling satellite," it was just a public display of our ABM system. It was quite an engineering feat, having to hit a 10m target hundreds of miles away in the vertical direction, which is travelling at thousands of meters per second. :)
All they have to do is scream TERRORIST, or GRAVE AND GROWING THREAT, or throw in the HOLOCAUST as a little tickler, or my personal favorite (this one gives me a great laugh everytime i hear it from an american official) WMD aka weapons of mass delusion. oooh me loves politix
Not to mention the neoconservatives have the media as a parrot on their shoulder but thats okay they throw in a news story here and there to critize them to make them seem independant.
There has always been a massive concern about adding space junk in orbit....Why has that concern been ignored? Space junk will make space travel impossible...You can't tell me the did not know what trajectory the satelite was on and where it would land....CONSPIRACY/Coverup? secret imaging sensor? they can see a dime on the ground back in the 80's??? sensing tech is not that secret..SPACE JUNK CONSPIRACY
the 1st spy's in space were from the ussr and they had a 30cal machine gun mounted to there satellite and they did fire it. instead of just blowing it up they should just push it toward the sun, i don't think there going to mess that sucker up and i can think of some other things that could go there.
It would take a lot of energy to break out of earth's orbit and then to slow it down enough for the orbit to become eccentric enough to intersect the sun. It may note have enough fuel to do that. I think I also heard that the reason they're shooting it is because they can't control it anymore.
Yes, USA and her allies are excellent, they will shoot down the satellite, cause they used the satellite to direct their missile on China's embassy at Yugoslavia. Said, by accident. China can, USA definitely should launch their missile very accurately, for years of targetting others...
i am chinese, that's not a spy satellite you alien asshole! that's a com satellite autoly dropped down at the unpopulated area like inner mongolia , we don't like millitary races we don't have any kind of spy satellite and we never will! our space tech are far worse than yours
i think you missed the point, mr "chinese" with the US IP address, must be a proxy server.
but anyhow, my point wasnt to bash china, it was to show that when someone that isnt the USA does something controversial, its blown out of proportion by the news, claiming they are evil, but when the USA does it, its totally legitmate. and dont even try to say China has no spy satellites because that is utter uneducated bullshit. Canada has spy sataellites for christ sakes, stupid american
Yea its a spy satelite! Us Americans and everyone else in the world has spy satelite!!! We just want to get it down before it hurts anyone! We as Americans have to protect our selves by having this spy satelite! We (Americans) droped big man and little boy on whatever contrys we did, and now we have to be sure that no other contrys are going to. We have shot it down now, and proved to all the other contrys of the world that we are just trying to get our satelite down and nothing else!
Canada has spy satelites? Wow. We only have like 20 fighter jets in alll of Canada but we have spy satelites. I don't even think we have a launch pad, which means that the U.S. knows about each of our satelites.
Well actually we have 98 CF-18's, some being used for trainers, some for spare parts and roughly 60 or so are actually active.. so 20 is an underestimate.. have you heard of the Radarsat series or the Radar-sat2 which was just launched, and Russia launched it for us. how nice of those russians to HELP us get a space program rather than the good ol USA putting up brick walls to prevent us from getting there on our own.. i love you russia
third.. what happend when China shot down one of its spy satellites? If i remember correctly the USA tried to draw international condemnation of this act, mainly because China beat them in the race to be able to shoot down satellites. This whole thing is a game for the neocons to show China and Russia that the USA can do it too and the part where they make the bleeding hearts buy into it with "loss of life" is meant to keep your mind off the fact that its a macho game played by neocons.
Ok so lets get this straight. Straight so that we know whats really going on here.
First of all, the part in the news where they say "the re-entry COULD lead to massive loss of life" - yeah okay! so is that supposed to make us all believe that this is right?
second of all. do you honestly believe that there would be anything salavagable from an object re-entering the atmosphere and then impacting the earth from 100's of KM's away, travelling at supersonic speeds?
