Navy missile hits spy satellite

Extraordinary operation requires steady seas and optimum positioning

Same thing China did with no fanfare. Interesting, innit?

Was it travelling toward the westcoast or away ? *Puts on Hardhat

Crap!

And yet, apparently the seas were not calm as required.

Makes you wonder if it really happened...

Does it mean anything to you that it was supposedly to avoid the danger of it crashing to earth, rather than just a test?

The fanfare will come later when someone else does the same and points to us and says they did it too!

Not really. The end result was the same.

The United States provided dramatic proof of its capability to destroy an object in space when a US navy missile scored a direct hit on an American satellite falling out of control.

Missile experts said that the Standard SM-3 weapon, fired from the USS Lake Erie, a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, took about three minutes to reach the satellite 150 miles (240km) up in the sky, flew above it and then descended before impact at a closing speed of 22,000mph to ensure that the debris was forced down to Earth.

not really quite the same.

fire from sea, target closer making it a faster moving target...

This was a major scientific deal, and makes me feel really good about the system.


What it may be designed to do politically I don't know....don't care.
