One of the problems I see is that if we have our own lazers and we blow the satellite out of orbit if it creates space debris traveling at 18,000 mph...

The Kessler syndrome.

Kessler syndrome: A scenario in which the density of objects in low-Earth orbit is high enough that collisions between objects cause a cascade, with each collision generating space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions.

Thanks for that. Exactly what I was referring to. Just imagine a piece of broken satellite coming at anything in the way traveling at 18,000 mph. Imagine the impact.Horrific.

Guess who doesn't like space debris and is one of the reasons they even visit earth.

I read where we could shoot a lazer or other ordinance that came close to the chicom satellite that was firing on Maui and throw it off course.Problem there is that you now have a satellite that has an unknown course. Probably the ultimate in space junk.,p> Either was if space junk becomes a problem expect the ET's to step in and have the final say.(If they haven't already.)
