Modern Day Craziness
Just an hour ago, a US Navy ship launched a missile in an attempt to take out a dying US spy satellite.
According to the New York Times, “The goal in this first-of-its-kind mission for the Navy was not just to hit the satellite but to obliterate a tank aboard the spacecraft carrying 1,000 pounds of a toxic fuel called hydrazine.”
The satellite was about 130 miles over the Pacific and, while contact was made, it is currently unclear if the toxic fuel was successfully “blown up”.
