Physics is still the law of the land even in Russia. The meteor dissipated a force equal to a nuclear bomb. It would have required the force of a nuclear bomb to get such a satellite into orbit.

I agree that it is unlikely this thing was launched from earth. And it is certainly a meteor (at least it looked and acted exactly like one does)

But surely we could launch an atomic bomb into orbit with a lot less energy than you are suggesting?

Thank you for the response.

IT being a satellite seems to be a far-fetched possibility at best. It just seems better to dismiss it after thorough consideration rather than ignore the possibility.
