Pending Satellite Shoot-down

[Ironmako]

Does anyone else get the impression that this "event" is contrived?

I'm am familiar with the Space shuttle program and the incident they had a few years back. The Space Shuttle is shielded with special heat dissipating tiles along the underside of the vessel. There was just slight damage to a few of those tiles and it pretty much caused the shuttle to disintegrate. Yes there was some debris but that Shuttle pilot had already navigated down through a significant portion of the atmosphere all the while trying to bleed off speed through alternating the ships orientation to some degree back and forth (air braking if you will) STILL the Shuttle for all intents and purposes disintegrated.

Now to the present...this satellite is going to fall from orbit...even low Earth orbit. Its not aerodynamic in the least, has no heat shielding for traversing the atmosphere, and no capability to bleed off speed...in short it is going to fall like a rock and disintegrate much faster than the Shuttle did. And our government is saying they are concerned that toxic JET FUEL is going to make it through that burning inferno that is going to rip that satellite apart???

WTF!!!

I think this is all contrived to give the old missile shield a demonstration and show Russia and China that yes we do indeed have the bigger dick. I don't object to us doing this btw but I can't help but remark that I feel it is blatantly obvious what our true intentions are here, and that the government needs to get some better material to pull over the public's eyes...

Creative thought process there Ironmako but I hesitate to say there's a lot of logic to what your thinking and I would not be at all surprised if it's true.

I must say though when I was younger living back in Australia, must have been around 1980 at a guess we had Skylab fall back to earth and debris was spread around areas of Western Australia. People were running around trying to collect pieces before the Australian and US governments got it all. I seem to remember from some news footage at the time that some pieces were quite large to, like the size of a car door if I recollect correctly.

I think with this latest one the fear mainly is the mirrors these things have these day. I would guess they would have a chance to survive re-entry and i'm assuming the trajectory they fall at has some bearing on what could survive or not.

I have been following that too. My own theory is apparently that satellite has "pertinenet information" within it, either by spying, or intelligence info, or technology the government wants no one to see or get hold of?
Just my own thoughts.

Hmmmm.............then again, maybe its full of hgh or some other good juice some of the baseball guys had hidden in it for tough times lol

It wouldn't surprise me if you're right Ironmako but I thought I read that the tank holding the toxin is what will make it through the atmosphere not the entire satellite.

[Ironmako]

I can't believe that the fuel would make it intact. It would most certainly burn up in the atmosphere. Fragments of the tank may survive but not after being that severely cooked.

Interesting. Id like to see it re enter.

It's probably a cover up for a planned landing between the Ballchinians and the MIB........but I am just speculating of course.

You guys read the headlines at Drudge recently? Seems I am not alone

china shot down a satellite before...nothing amazing
