Defense Department: Navy missile hits dying spy satellite

More to come as details arrive including where the satellite was hit, where the debris will fall etc.

 

Oh! I never thought you could accurately target a satellite outside the earth's atmosphere. At what altitude was the satellite?

 

Finally, we get a military success story.

 

Star Wars is starting to work.

There's a video of the missile hitting the satellite.

 

There was something on that satelite that the U.S. really didn't want to go public.....

 

Yeah the fuel that burns peoples lungs.

 

Suffocation from inflamed lungs ain't the way to go. I know though that that satellite got hit 130 miles out of orbit I believe. So once you hit space 130 miles past that. Should be sometime tomorrow that they will have an idea where the remaining pieces are going to hit on earth.

 

There shouldn't be many or any pieces that hit the earth since they're smaller and will get burnt up coming into the earth's orbit.
