Looks like they hit it! (the dead satellite) - 20/02/08 08:13 PM
The dead satellite, that is:
Missle takes out satellite
OK, so was it really a risk, or did George just wanna show off and light off some fireworks?
Pretty impressive, but actually at only 150 miles up not nearly as difficult as hitting a satellite in a normal, functional (higher/faster) orbit.
Still, hitting a car or bus size object 150 miles away that was probably traveling thousands of MPH is pretty impressive!
Note: this was posted when initial reports came in. Let's see if the story gets retracted and they actually missed - lol.
