This whole thing smells fishy.  I'd go into theory, but i'd be afraid of men in ski masks in the middle of the night :tinfoil:

Russia and China have both expressed concern about the operation. The Russian Defense Ministry said it could be used as cover to test a new space weapon.




It is no more of a weapons test than Iran's uranium enrichment is for a weapons program. China isn't one to talk, having sprayed weather satellite parts all over upper earth orbit creating havoc for the next 40 years as part of a space weapon test just last month.

As to the real reason why... China did and the US needs the data to keep up. This is a perfect opportunity, a good excuse, and doesn't rain debris down over lower earth orbit for the next forty years. (I don't care that China tested a space missile, but the mess they made annoys me to no end!)

Yes, that is the real reason. It's a good excuse for their experiment.

The mess it can make when things explode in space is huge and almost impossible to clean. It's precious space up there in space.

I just came along this figure in a book, how a debris cloud forms:


-http://books.google.com/books?id=HfnGxKhcQWUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=mission+geometry+orbit+design&ei=J9y9R4-FKJXOywTuj8jbCA&sig=uDajtGkdR9nNeUnR9feJyWu385E#PPA712,M1

I guess debris can fill a lot of space if there are too many collisions. Imagine two debris clouds colliding, and triggering more collisions. I imagine this as a nuclear chain reaction kind of process.

:lol: A predictable satellite is not the same as a missile.

Depending upon the data you use in the test, it can be pretty close.

Is this related to the fireball spotted over Oregon on the same day?

No, fireball is thought to be a meteor.
