    I'm sure more intelligence staffers have been reassigned to watch China just based on this development alone.

                  Don't worry about the Chinese. It doesn't matter that they like to massacre Tibetans, torture people, imprison all the adult webmasters they can get their hands on, etc. The US is obviously far more evil.

                              Who gives a flying fuck. What countries can do and what they do do are different things.

                              As long as my favorite chinese restaurant is not affected I'm cool.

                                  Thread title is very misleading.

                                  China didn't "shoot down" anything. They sent a payload into space, and part of that payload was a device which tracked and attached itself to a weather sat, and then forced the sat into a decaying orbit. It isn't entirely clear that it exploded, but may have just been a significant push or a minor detonation to damage the sat's own stability gear, example, or to damage the communication gear in such a way that ground stations could no longer keep it in orbit.

                                  It does, however, bring the whole arms race to space, which is not good.

                                      Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                      think about that

                                          and the point of this story is? china decided to get rid of one of THEIR satellites in space (which does not belong to anyone) and the american government says this is wrong? The us government need to fucking shut up they have an opinion on everything and most the shit they do have one on has nothing to do with them

                                                undisclosed sources say the chinks are trying to take Howard Stern off the air.
                                                appears they don't like him.

                                                          What do you think all those Shuttle Missions are doing?
                                                          They go up for 8-9 days, and all we get is a 30 second clip of them waxing the out side of the hull or bringing in that slow assed robotic arm.

                                                          Or if we are really lucky, we will get to hear thier wake up alarm of some Aerosmith.

                                                          You think they really spend all that money just to float a few test tubes aroud?

                                                                              This is a tool to protect Chinese Military assets if they have a confrontation with the U.S. over something (like taiwan).

                                                                              The basic strategy of China in a war would be massive amounts of troops to overwhelm their adversary. While they have created/bought/stolen some very advanced weapon systems, they have not allocated the resourses to mass produce them and train their personel on them. So in a conflict with the U.S. it would be a classic manpower vs. technology conflict.

                                                                              Problem for them is those are our ABSOULTE FAVORITE types of wars to fight. In a conventional war, which a war with China would be, our overwhelming technical superiority would at the minimum massively damage their military, and could defeat it all together. Remember desert storm? Saddam had the 4th largest military in the world and we crushed it like it was the second string of a pee-wee football team. Bosina? One of the things that shocked our NATO allies was that we could continuously and accurately bomb targets all day and night in ANY weather. They did not have this capability, and this is Europe, not some little third world country. Same with Afghanistan and the begining of the Iraq war.

                                                                              A big part of that technological superiority comes from our gps satellites and spy satellites. If they could significantly destroy the gps and spy satellites it might significantly degrade our ability to crush their army from far distances. We may be forced to rely on more ground troops and our pilots may have to risk flying lower and closer to their targets to hit them. All of this will result in the increased likelyhood of American casualties. Thus the U.S. would be more likely to negotiate (i.e. give taiwan over to the chicoms) than we would have before.

                                                                              So, if I'm America, I would be a little worried. If I was taiwan I would be shitting bricks right now

In its own test, the U.S. military knocked a satellite out of orbit in 1985.

                                                                                    So, once again, why is China now lambasted for something that has already been done by the US?

                                                                                      I don't know where you and RawAlex are getting your info from.

                                                                                      Everything I've read says the satellite was struck by a missile traveling at hundreds or thousands of miles an hour.

                                                                                      It wasn't a gentle docking where they hit the "off" button. You are giving the Chinese way too much credit. Go to Heaven's Above or Spacetrack and look at the pieces they are tracking..and that's just the biggest chunks..even 1mm pieces can likely damage other satellites.

                                                                                      But if you guys don't want to call it an "explosion" or "shooting it down" or "blowing it up", what shall we call it? How about a very nasty booboo?

                                                                                      The US did it in the eighties but I doubt very much they would do it now when there are hundreds more satellites in orbit that could possibly be affected by the debris.

China will be the next world power based on their numbers and economic power, but they need the US and basically everyone else for a number of things including raw materials and such. Look at what Mao did when he was in power and you will realize that China isn't in a position to go it alone they have a lot of work to do to repair the country before they can make significant moves forward. Not to mention they don't have access to the ammount of oil that they need to make it all come together.
