America loves a winner!

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- "The missile has been launched and (it was) a successful intercept," a Pentagon source was quoted by CNN as saying. It happened around 10:30 p.m. EST on Wednesday (0330 GMT on Thursday)when the satellite flied 130 miles (about 210 km) over the Pacific.

The more detailed results of the action is not available currently.

Although the dying satellite is the target, the Pentagon hopes the missile can hit exactly the tank carrying toxical fuels aboard the spacecraft. The tank is circular with a radius of 20 inches (about 50 cm). It will take a day or two to know whether the tank has been destroyed.

Yes indeed. The US forces should be heartily patted on the back for actualy hitting something that they were aiming at for once.

Should keep all the other satellites in line.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Yep! Glad they scattered all that "hydrazine" (sotto voce: plutonium) before it did any damage!

The Kessler Syndrome?

Russia is signaling it could take out the West's internet and GPS. There's no good backup plan.
