"When the Chinese carried out an anti-satellite missile test in January last year, thousands of pieces of debris remained in space."
Now THERE'S a bit of information I wasn't aware of .... go above and come down to force debris into the atmosphere to burn up.
WE are the big dogs, y'all.
Very cool, I kept wondering if the impact/explosion would actually force pieces further out and hang there in orbit. It crossed my mind that it needed to be hit form the other side but doubted it could be done.
Did anyone hear what ship shot it down?
