KERBLEEWY!!!!!!!

Hehehehehehe...

That was fun. Let’s do it again.

Cartwright said the visible fireball and the vapor cloud or plume around it suggest that the fuel tank was hit and the hydrazine had burned up.

Burn up? Fireball? There is no Oxygen in space.

U.S. officials decided to shoot down the satellite because of the danger posed by the hazardous hydrazine [works for any other object that may have something hazardous on board too].

I surely couldn't see where that missile hit from the video I saw.

...think there was a camera in the nose?

[SandRat]

It’s hard tellin’

[Wally_Kalbacken]

This whole PR coup could go down the drain if a red hot empty fuel tank falls on a polar bear!

The U.S. just served notice on Russia and China that if they try to take out the U.S. GPS systems, the U.S. will take out the GLONASS and Beidou GPS systems.

The U.S. just served notice on North Korea, Iran, and Russia that we don’t NEED a land missile base to hit stuff in space. I’m not sure how the SM-3 would do against an ICBM, but it should give other ballistic missiles a hard time.
