It's uncanny how similar ths is to a recent Nova program, see: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/astrospies/ Very interesting! I'd never heard of these programs, not surprising since they were conceived of before I was ;-P I was very impressed with the Soviet station. I had no idea they had an active manned orbiting recon station, well besides Mir that is. They had a 23mm cannon on theirs, would've been useful now. Quick question, how is this different from what the chinese did awhile ago? I understand this satellite is in a decaying orbit but won't this missile impact and explosion possibly cause some debris to accelerate up into a higher orbit and become nuisance trash?

Don't know how successfull the Navy will be. I've been stepping out my door and shooting up at the damned thing every few nights. Nothing! ;)
Seriously, I would love to see nose camera footage of that!
