5/2     "A Chinese anti-satellite test in January increased the risk that a
        spacecraft could collide with debris by up to 40 percent in some
        orbits,"
        http://www.csua.org/u/ilm (Yahoo! News Photos)
        Wow.  Killing N birds with one stone.
        \_ err... it is not like China is the only country doing this.  Both
           USA and formal USSR has done something similar in the past.
           What made Chinese anti-satellite test anymore special again?
           \_ now the world knows better?
              \_ very funny.  This is again one of those "it is ok for US
                 to do it, but not everyone else" kind of thing.
                 \_ So what you're saying is, that because idiots in the
                    past didn't know how stupid what they were doing was,
                    even though everyone now knows, it's OK for you to
                    do it?
                    \_ Why did China test the missile in the first
                       place?  If you read up a bit on this, you could
                       see that the whole thing could've been avoided,
                       if the United States does what it asks the rest
                       of the world do. It's like, "You can't have
                       nuclear weapons, but I won't sign the nuclear
                       non-proliferation treaty".
                       \_ So, some asshole (the US) shoots itself in
                          the foot, incidently splattering blood over
                          everyone nearby and putting them at risk
                          of disease.  You do the same?  Blowing up
                          a satellite in LEO was a stupid thing to
                          do even if the US is being a fucking idiot.
                          China damaged their own interests as well
                          as everyone elses.  There's just no other
                          way to call it excpet that it is stupid.
                          The US is stupid, for sure, and hypocritical,
                          but why does that force China to be stupid?
                          \_ Why do you think this is stupid?  The
                             risk of debris or something else?
                             \_ That was covered.  When you blow shit up in
                                LEO it leaves debris that can take out other
                                satellites.  Thus, it is stupid unless your
                                goal is to make certain orbits useless.
           \_ Doing != done.
