[MonkeyFunk]

Breaking on CNN - they just did it 15 minutes ago - it was successful.

1. can we go outside and feel the plutonium reign over us?

:sarcasm: but I bet the DoD is high fiving themselves on the save

[gateley]

7. weird day huh?

they shot it down, hmm...I still didn't like the idea, they are up to something, aren't they always up to something.

10. It is obvious that they are testing "star wars" technology. Now the U.S. can threaten other...

countries that they can shoot down their satellites if they want to.

15. we have a repeating chemical lasar mounted on a 747..capable of hitting it

17. The spy satellite was already too low in orbit to be a valid test of "Star Wars"

When the Chinese shot down their own malfunctioning satellite, that was a tougher shot and more like the concept of Star Wars than this was. This was basically a test of a SMIII missile scenario, not shooting down a working satellite. Oh, and probably getting rid of evidence of some sort of technology advance they don't want getting out.

8. It's a conspiracy

This is all to hide the UFOs that control our secret government. And the other stuff. All 3.

ALL THREE!

6. I'd like to see a video of it.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Video, hell

By mid-summer, there'll be a made-for-teevee movie special.

[Wapsie B]

9. How much does anyone wanna bet

that repugs will use this as justification for continued Star Wars funding?

[madrchsod]

11. great ---more shredded bits floating around in space

[MannyGoldstein]

12. Nah - Almost Of It Will Come Down In The Next Few Months

It was about to hit the atmosphere anyway - some parts will fly higher, but not that much higher, then they'll come back down.

(Not that I'm endorsing this test.)

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. Oh, the *Navy* did it

I heard it was MSNBC — y'know, with one of their missiles.

So they could get Exclusive Coverage.

16. lunar eclipse and satellite shoot-down all at once
