Stupidest idea ever. Let’s just create the largest debris hazard we can for our astros in LEO, and then confine us to this planet.

Man, whoever decided to put politicians in charge of anything more complicated than a matchstick needs to be tarred and feathered...at the very least.

You’re wrong. This intercept will probably be at lower than 80nm... far below “astros in LEO”

No, no, no! They are waiting until USA-193 is very low, below operational LEO height, precisely so other satellites aren't damaged by the debris field of the destruction of USA-193! With the debris field so low, it will decay shortly and more completely than if the satellite is left alone! Think man!

Ah, but there’s HAARP to clean out the debris field.
