US Claims Satellite Shoot-Down Success

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hope-your-foil-hat-was-on-snug dept.

Readers of Slashdot last valentines day will remember discussing US Plans to Shoot down a damaged spy satellite. An anonymous reader noted that the US is reporting success last night, thus saving us from hydrazine exposure. Of course this makes me wonder- if it's this easy, wouldn't an international super power war pretty much immediately mean the downing of every satellite in orbit?

    The nukes are typically reserved for the last day of war.
