U.S. to Shoot Down Reconnaissance Satellite

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/space/02/19/satellite.shootdown/

Wikipedia: A Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) missile, with an anti-satellite payload will be launched from the USS Lake Erie by the US Navy to intercept the USA-193 satellite.

"Pentagon sources said the Navy is attempting to take its first shot about 10:30 p.m. ET, or 5:30 p.m. Hawaii time." - CNN

It is going to happen, real soon! Whether the reason is Hydrazine or China, it will happen. We are sending $40 million to the atmosphere.

Also, watch out for the SM-3.
