I was hinting for the article's author
circa 2000. It did stick with me though.

Yes, they’ll be there for a while won’t they.

Good deal. Thanks for the mention.
I should pick up a copy. It should be an interesting read 15 years later.

Heating up the atmosphere actually helps that. When the Sun does some of its special activity.

Yeah, they wouldn’t even have to destroy our satellites directly, just put enough debris in the right orbit and let physics take its course.

Here's a chart for orbital altitudes up to about 400 miles (I suspect it assumes a circular orbit):

It may have been a modified DF-21 ballistic missile carrying a maneuverable exo-atmospheric impact system, similar to the more advanced versions of the Standard missile carried by certain US Navy ships.

China is a major economic power, they aren’t just making gym shoes anymore. And check out the test scores coming out of Shanghai.
Meanwhile the US is internally divided by fake grievances and incapable politically of winning a war in Asia.

Isn’t that illegal under anti-weaponizing space treaties or some such? Maybe there is a loop hole that states the weapons can’t be orbiting?

There was a movie a few years back (James Bond/Goldeneye, if I recall correctly), in which someone boasted of having a satellite orbiting at “100 kilometers”.
The lifespan of a satellite orbiting at 100 km is roughly two hours.

I would have guessed a lot more than that. Interesting.

In the last several weeks we tested 3, two Minuteman and a Trident.
