http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_debris#Debris_from_and_as_a_weapon <sarcasm> Sounds interesting. For years people have looked for a way to destroy this harmful thing called television - a tool allowing the rich and powerful to control the mind and consumerism of entire civilisations. However this tool has been so powerful that nothing has even made a scratch on it, yet. But maybe we have hope: It might be destroyed as collateral damage as part of operation "hacker satellite". The goal of this operation is to trap the rich and powerful in a catch-22. Either they ignore the satellite (then their censorship fails) or they shoot it down (then their propoganda fails). </sarcasm> Seriously, don't you think it is easier less straining on international relations to jam a satellite then destroy it?
