    It would be a real shame if some random “debris” knocked it out of orbit. A real shame.

    A sattelite is only as good as your ability to maintain it.

      We don’t need anymore anti satellite missile demonstrations. It makes way too damn much space debris.

      Knocking things around in orbit is a terrible idea that only adds to the current near crisis we have with space junk. So yes, it would be a real shame if something messed with the orbit of any satellite, one that could cost hundreds of millions in damages or even loss of life.

        Was it China that destroyed a satellite in orbit and everyone got mad because it flung so much shit at other satellites
