Strike One

Do you believe the USA shot down a wayward satellite in one amazingly accurate shot? I'm not so sure I do.

Why wait several years until just a month before it would supposedly enter the atmosphere on its own? Why do it in such a hurry when a space shuttle is in orbit? Why spend a huge expense when it would likely not hit a populated area anyway? Why not build a satellite with a self destruct?

Not only do I think it was a fake military show of strength, but a very dangerous one possibly capable of starting a new arms race.
