United States Navy Scores Direct Hit On Spy Satellite

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I'm with F'in Crazy...it's a spy satellite.  The cost of taking it down means nothing.  The hydrazine thing, while it sounds nice and makes for good press, is a bit cockamamie. 

That thing had to be taken out so the technology could be kept secret, case closed.   

I remember back in '99 when a spy plane of ours crash landed in China.

China sent us back the plane with all the components stripped out.

I'm quite certain we'd have done the same.

Though, I doubt that we would have imprisoned the crew of a crash landed plane.


Great links Doc Emmett Brown.

"Though, I doubt that we would have imprisoned the crew of a crash landed plane."  -agreed.

When each missile cost $10 million you want to make sure you use it for a good reason - I suspect it was not just target practice, but a real concern regarding the hydrazine.

Hydrazine had little to nothing to do with it ... see my previous post.

I was not aware you were an authority on the subject.

This stuff isn't cotton candy:

Safety

Hydrazine is highly toxic and dangerously unstable, especially in the anhydrous form. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency:

    Symptoms of acute (short-term) exposure to high levels of hydrazine may include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, dizziness, headache, nausea, pulmonary edema, seizures, coma in humans. Acute exposure can also damage the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. The liquid is corrosive and may produce dermatitis from skin contact in humans and animals. Effects to the lungs, liver, spleen, and thyroid have been reported in animals chronically exposed to hydrazine via inhalation. Increased incidences of lung, nasal cavity, and liver tumors have been observed in rodents exposed to hydrazine.[17]

At least one human is known to have died from exposure to hydrazine hydrate

Well......all the more reason to find an antidote.

I never claimed to be. However, the overwhelming majority of experts tend to think that the hydrazine issue is a red herring, and at best, a secondary, or tertiary reason.

Furthermore, I doubt anyone would be acutely exposed to the stuff. Too, it is very volatile, and evaporates relatively fast.

Their are a good amount of prescribed medicines that have worse side effects on people then that.

The Government don't give a fuck if it's extremely hazardous. All their actions are strictly security, political or military.

[Angel Down]

Depends which government you are defining. That sounds Totalitarian to me.

[polluxlm]

Show me a government which isn't. Luxembourg don't count.

[Angel Down]

There are Liberal Governments that favour reform or progress, where human rights are the top priority.

[polluxlm]

Or so they like to tell people. Governments are inherently evil.

[Angel Down]

Democracy is a work in "Progress".



(I do not think that the Government who wrote the Constitution had evil in mind).

[polluxlm]

No, but look what happened. Like I said, inherently.

[Angel Down]

What happened?


A few Wars.


Then the Geneva Convention had to be written.


Then the Universal Declaration of Human Rights...........


(Good vs Evil).

[polluxlm]

A few wars.

Swing to the rhythm of the new world order baby. It's all going down the drain, what a show!

[Angel Down]

I don't think that War is a laughing matter.       

Far from it, really.   

[polluxlm]

No, but a hundred wars in light of "the geneva convention" and "human rights" is.

[Angel Down]

What's so funny about decades of human suffering?

It's really, really sad.

How many wars will it take until governments realize that it is not the answer.

If the theory of war was subject to scientific testing, it would be disproved.
