Re: OT: China develops anti-satellite weapon
Yeah, um... it's actually kinda easy to destroy a satelite if you know where it is. You "just" put something else on an intersecting orbit, ideally orbiting in the opposite direction. Under such conditions, a handful of steel ball bearings will vaporise just about anything up there (or at least render it rather nonfunctional). Granted, hitting the target can get dicy.....
