Last week I mentioned the story about the U.S. spy satellite that was going to be targeted by the Navy for destruction due to its failure leading to an earth crashing trajectory that included remnants landing in North America. Tonight the Navy was successful in hitting the satellite some 130 miles above earth, but it wont know if it succeeded in destroying the hazardous fuel tank aboard it for a day or so.
The full story can be found here.
We finally know the answer...there are no fireballs in space explosion! Just plumes of material and scattering debris! :)
