Ok.. but... um, what happens to the missile... if they miss?!? O.o Are we going to have to shoot down the missile with an anti-missile, missile? Or worse... we end up hitting someone else's satellite altogether by mistake:
"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." Now, back to you Jim."
If the missile is fast enough to intersect an orbiting satellite (ludicrous speed), it'll probably be fast enough to escape earth's pull and end up hitting a much farther target. For example, the USS Enterprise.
P.S. It took me 5 minutes to wiki an fictional spaceship. Death Star just doesn't have the same effect. Most people won't need to google "Death Star."

That's really awesome with the lunar eclipse happening tonight between 10:00 and 10:50

Exactly. I was already going to be out tonight watching for the blood moon. :)

Yeah, I totally had to Google the USS Enterprise.
Er, when were you born again? :/
