Great. So now the debris is adding a few million little missiles to our space junkyard. Some satellite systems are gonna go off-line. You know, like financial transactions in the Federal Reserve system??? Like just happened?

Technically speaking, Dog, I don’t believe the Houthi Missile had achieved Orbital velocity, only Apogee, therefore the debris would fall in the desert.

Save your concern!

These missiles - both the Yemeni missile (probably a Qader missile – an improved version of the Iranian-designed Shahab 3) and the Israeli (Arrow 2) missile which intercepted it - could never achieve orbital velocity. They are strictly sub-orbital missiles.

The missile was designed to fall back to earth. No fragments will go into orbit.
