"This just in, the U.S. Navy wishes to apologize for wiping out Dish Network satellite television for the Hawaiian Islands and all of the U.S. west cost. Admiral Alistair M. Shortsighted had this to say about the incident... "Sorry, my bad."

That's assuming there is oxidizer on board, from the description it is possible the oxidizer was used up during the malfunction the satellite suffered at launch.]]>Feb 20th 2008 9:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/us-to-shoot-down-failed-satellite-at-10-30pm-et/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/us-to-shoot-down-failed-satellite-at-10-30pm-et/Feb 20th 2008 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/us-to-shoot-down-failed-satellite-at-10-30pm-et/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/20/us-to-shoot-down-failed-satellite-at-10-30pm-et/
Also, things do not necessarily implode in space. That term is relative to the pressure (or lack there of) that you're dealing with. An implosion simply means that there is lesser pressure inside the structure when it fails, than that which is around it. Therefore, the object caves and succumbs to the greater pressure outside of it.

I.E. If you were to take a tank and seal it at sea level and take it to the bottom of the ocean, the tank would likely implode because the pressure of the water is greater than that which is at sea level (and in the tank). If, however, you take that same tank and bring it up to 60,000ft or even into space, the tank would explode because of the greater pressure at sea level (and in the tank).

Oublie ça pour ce soir (mardi), j'ai travaillé toute la soirée (armée), et j'ai pu avoir la chance de me planter dans mon examen de Mat265 aujourd'hui.

Je vais travailler là-dessus demain soir, et matin, si possible.

U.S. shoots at satellite, hits intelligent alien ship, aliens invade and the Earth is decimated.

or last but not least.
U.S. blows up satellite, small cultures the world over commit mass suicide. ( fear of end of world)

I'll watch this here at 7 pm my time. yeah gmt-3.5 hours. you figure it out where I am. It'll be dark and its a beautiful clear sunny day out.
