Or it blow it up because they don't want anyone to know what it was realy doing.

Sam(slim) is right. There is a bunch of stuff and info on the satellite that is classified. It is a spy satellite after all.

Or Maybe it's a Russian nuclear armament that the US put their computer operating system on. Maybe they should strap Tommy Lee Jones on the nose of it to fly it to the moon.

Thats a mean thing to do to the Moon!

I find this humorous, Quoted from CNN report.

In January 2007, China used a land-based missile to destroy a 2,200-pound satellite that was orbiting 528 miles above the Earth. The impact left more than 100,000 pieces of debris orbiting the planet, NASA estimated -- 2,600 of them more than 4 inches across. The U.S. agency called the breakup of the Fengyun-C satellite the worst in history.

China, however, is among a host of countries who are monitoring the U.S. satellite shootdown. It is "highly concerned" and has expressed its reservations to the United States, according to a report in the state-run Xinhua news agency.

China should be pissed. We're doing the EXACT SAME THING they did, after we crawled up their ass about doing it.

What's better is that this satalite is > 2x the size of the one they destroyed. That means potentially twice the debris created, twice the mess. An earlier statistic said that 43% of teh debris out there was from that oen chinese satalite.
Aparently we're going to do them a favor and knocking them down so WE can have teh record for the majority of the debris...

And, to the tune of an extra $60 million to do this. Meanwhile, they still haven't preoperly funded the POS federal education initiatives...
