China's and Russia's satelites are 500+ miles above the atmosphere, meaning it would DAMAGE other satelites to try and take them down. THAT is why we don't want them doing it, due to them possibly destroying communication satelites.

America was able to do this because their's is close enough to Earth that it will be pulled in via gravity and burned up in the atmosphere.

DUH! Pure PWNAGE! I didn't know the Chinese took out a weather satellite 500+ miles away from earth with a mid-range missle. Then, why are they complaining so loudly now?

..China has a fleet of submarines that can position the US pacific fleet on the buttom of the pacific in a short amount of time.. That's more scary than being able to pick out sattelites from the atmosphere.]]>Feb 21st 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/
to follow up on johnathan's point. when china destroyed its defunct weather satellite, the satellite was not on a descent toward earth. as a result, none of the resulting debris fell to earth and, indeed, still remains in space where it continues to pose a threat to other satellites and space vehicles.


and so china's pollutive ways transcend terrestial boundaries. ]]>Feb 21st 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/
China shot down their satellite with a ground lunched missle. Russians did it by satellite to satellite impact.

You're the perfect example of a person who knows just enough to be ignorant. Show me a fleet of diesel subs that can disappear (we have satellites watching chinese ports) unnoticed, secretly transit from China all the way to the US at 3-4 kts (required speed to stay undetected) without surfacing to recharge, and then simultaneously torpedo every U.S. naval asset floating in the Pacific.

Oh, and I'm sure you knew that to take down the "entire pacific fleet" (which doesn't really even make sense if you know anything about the US Navy's distribution of command) you'd have to torpedo ships AND subs (how woul you detect the subs?) in Japan, Pearl Harbor, San Diego, Bangor, etc.

You're a fool.

Except that something like that would probably start a third world war.

If you start to destroy all of a counties intelligence satellites, or worse all other, period; they would expect an immediate attack, so not fun.

Even the destruction of one satellite would be an act of aggression that would force the other country to (with different degrees of ease, and help of allies) act in retribution, soon scaling and probably leading to the declaration of war.

And as for the video of the launch, they probably were more worried about the thing going where it needed to than setting up cameras; that's probably their standard missile-hasn't-blown-up-on-the-pad check camera.

@ Kyledl: Dude, this is what everybody said in 1969 when the moon landing was aired in crappy-black and white TV quality, and even after 35+ years, we haven't seen any good footage of the moon, yet, if there is any.]]>Feb 21st 2008 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/Feb 21st 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/
A camera with a telescopic lens would've solved the whole problem! They are shooting pictures and sometimes videos of galaxies hundred light years away from us, and explosions happening at super far distances from earth, and they supposedly can't shoot an exploding satellite that close to us?

And do not say that having high quality images is not important, it is damn sure very important and is part of history to have good quality videos of such events! If the cause was so important and video is not, all these news reporters would have been using standard quality cameras until this day, but this is not the case; if people are dieing in some war that doesn't mean shooting the events on camera is wrong, it is what we call "Digital History", keeping records through video, which is damn sure important, and cool.

Not hate right here, just simple question: Why isn't that shot in HD then showed to people in HD too?]]>Feb 21st 2008 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/Feb 21st 2008 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/video-proof-of-the-renegade-satellites-destruction/
