Couldn't they just blow it out of the sky with a missile or something? Didn't China do that with an old satellite?

Sounds like the good old days when F111's were falling from the sky.
The word was if you wanted one just buy a block of land and wait for one to fall in ![]()

Of course there is the issue that if the attempt to blow it up just changes course and it does something nasty like landing in the middle of a city or hitting a nuclear power station. Unfortunately the real world is neither a playstation game nor a hollywood blockbuster. |

Supposed to come over Melb at 3:15pm, didn't see it. Knew it was coming down faster in the last orbit or 2. We missed out by 30-40 minutes.

Funny how one has more chance to be hit by a satellite than winning lotto :(

I think any falling Satellite when it comes back to earth, some come back as returned to Sender.

Which Shoe?

BAII RTV - with Raptor V S/C. RTV Power FG G6ET 50th Anniversary in Sensation. While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |
