Do you think it was deliberately provocative? Or a statement?|||To me,it was spooky.It is almost like the Chinese were trying to provoke the US.|||The technology doesn't need the satellite. It uses automatic targeting. Triangulation, bounced back sampling. Who are you kidding?|||Awesome / both|||How else will you test an anti-sat rocket if you don't take out a sat. just sayin|||Do you have a link to the article about this? I haven't heard anything about the Chinese taking out a satellite.|||No I do not think it was provocative but certainly deliberate. After all it was their satellite they destroyed and as they built it and launched it are quite in titled to destroy it if they so chose. Lets start getting worried when some country destroys someones else's satellite.|||not provocative. just a statement that they now can kinetically kill a satellite. it would seem that the soviet union and the united states have also demonstrated the ability to kill satellites. i don't remember very many people being upset over that.|||I think it was a deliberately provocative statement! Be afraid, be very afraid!|||Well after reading several articles on the subject: The Chinese claim that they don't want space to be "Weaponized". So they are against the U.S. building of space weapons. But then they try and get away with blowing up a god damn satallite in space... How Ironic -- their doing exactly what they claim they don't want. All I know is.. is that the U.S. better start weaponizing space just in case of the future with China. So I think it was a statement.. saying that they can do what they want -- but two can play that game.. and the U.S. plays it very well! God Bless the USA~|||It's just a new technology they've came up with, why are people so concerned? Others are just jealoused (including me!). It's just so AWESOME!!! Smart people these days!!
