CNN and others reporting the Americans are planning to shoot down a satellite thats expected to fall from space.
The controversy they say is the debris it might cause, more chards of twisted metal falling to Earth. And whatever toxis chemicals is in those satellites. Poor fishes.
For me, the first thing that came to mind was "skeet shooting". The military is shooting down this thing as target practice. Yee haw!
A good excuse to roll out the latest technology used for "star wars missle defense system" and put it to work in the real world.
