U.S Government plans to shoot down SPY SATTELITE before it hits earth!

    I just heard this on CNN. Pretty interesting stuff. They say the information that is on this satellite is highly confidential. Do you think that's the main point of them shooting it down? What do you think is on it information wise?

    well, it's a spy satellite, so it's obviously some secret stuff they don't want others to know they know

    anything really. Maybe certain people, maybe China, Russia, Iran or other countries. Maybe military facilities, industrial facilities. Anything someone would want to keep away from other people's eyes

    Maybe they just want to show Russia and China they can shoot down satellites
    I'm pretty sure we're all new to that :)

    Yea right, total bullshit. It's also the same lie they use to take your freedoms. See: Seat belts, Drugs, Iraq, Patriot Act, Protect America Act (and all the other oxymoron names they came up with since then).

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the Stargate program.

    Yea, but they did it in a really stupid way because they did it only to test their missile, not thinking of consequences. Now a lot of that debris is orbiting the Earth and is at risk of damaging other Satellites including commercial ones.

    I think they should blow it up just seconds before it hits a major metropolitan area. They can do that. I saw it in a movie one time. ;)

    It's probably got all the data that AGS posts here, maybe they don't want people to know they are watching DP from space?

    I just watched TV, and Russian side said that it seems batteries arent noticeable on the sattelite, that means it might have a nuclear fuel, oh, well, I just hope it wont harm anyone.

    The satellite never worked, the reason they are shotting it down is to prevent that fuel that operates it from releasing to the area where it crashes.

    http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/02/15/broken_satellite_will_be_shot_down/

    hydrazine Burns you lungs when inhaled, there is a enough fuel left when released in the area to cover two football fields.
