Farhad Manjoo on taking out the spy satellite.
  • Shooting shit out of space is simply cool

    What other reason do you need to fire a rocket 134 miles and blow up a satellite?

    Dangerous fuel concerns, a showcase for our technology (considering the massive exposure of the event), confidential, top-secret equipment on the satellite - all of the reasons above are probably valid for shooting that satellite down.

    But beyond all that, it's a cool story, and apparently good for PR - many people were interested.

    Peace,
