OK heres the deal

I was watching TV the other night and they say there is a SPY Satellite going to fall to Earth Harmlessly in several small pieces, may just burn up on re-entry. A Week later, they say it has a harmful unused Fuel that probably wont burn up on re-entry, but may split open when it doesnt land so harmlessly back on Earth. The reason they are telling the world this? Your guess is as good as mine. But if you dont believe in conspiracy theories you go on and believe everything they tell you. If you happen to believe in conspiracy theories, dont believe a word of it. I fall somewhere in the middle of the whole thing myself and here is the reason why.

They(our Government) knew that day, back in 2006 when the thing launched, it was a dud. Why two years later are we still messing with this thing? When we launched the Hubble Telescope back in 1990, it had a bad mirror basically rendering it a useless piece of space junk. Did we Fret over that and wait for it to fall back to Earth? Hell NO! We sent another multi billion dollar space project into space to fix it. After all, thats what we built those shuttles for isnt it? Well at least I recall the Government telling me that on at least one occasion. It worked, the Hubble was put back into its orbit to continue the Mission.

Why then, if we have known for two years this all of a sudden huge hazzard to humans on Earth was coming down, havent we controlled a mission where the Shuttle coming back empty, stop and pick up a Satellite and throw it into a Cargo bay? Wouldnt that make a whole lot more sense? Does our Military or who ever owns this piece of junk have the Millions of dollars spent on this piece of crap to just let it go? Well here is another interesting thing, instead of letting it fall harmlessly to Earth and potentially burning up. They deemed the threat to the public so great, they decided t take the opportunity to rework a Military Rocket, and shoot the thing to pieces before it re enters the atmosphere. Yes! They are going to trust a low bidder creation of a Missile, to hit the thing in a spot no bigger than a Loaf of bread while its sailing through Space at a velocity of about 22,783 mph (36,667 kph). This doesnt even sound like a good idea. The potential for pieces of this thing to remain in space, something even the size of a Quarter flying around, potentially piercing anything flying in the area are far greater than I would care to risk.

See things are not adding up on this whole deal. Some day maybe all this will be declassified and we will know the truth. But I doubt it.

I am adding this bit of info from some Scientists speculating based on a built Model of the shooting down of this missile and some ill effects of an attempt by China to do this already.
Information the modelers do know:

The satellite has a mass of about 5,015 pounds (2,275 kilograms).
The missile would be fired from a ship in the North Pacific Ocean.
The interception would occur at an altitude of about 149 miles (240 kilometers).
The satellite and missile would close on one another at a velocity of about 22,783 mph (36,667 kph).

If left alone, the satellite is expected to re-enter Earth's atmosphere some time between the end of February and early March. About 2,500 pounds (1,134 kilograms) of satellite material would survive re-entry (the rest would burn up), including 1,000 pounds (453 kilograms) of hydrazine, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Defense.


The collision between the fired missile and the satellite would not only break the massive hunk of metal into pieces but would also speed up its tumble through Earth's atmosphere.


"If you want to bring something down, you slow it down. You apply a force on it which results in it being slowed down and decrease in its orbit," Carrico told SPACE.com. "Right at that point where they want to engage [the satellite] is at the edge of the atmosphere, so you're bringing it down faster."


The plan comes on the heels of the intentional destruction last year of China's Fengyun-1C weather satellite, which produced a flurry of concern over the hostile-or-not nature of the firing as well as a serious load of shrapnel littering Earth orbit. That debris is still in space, frustrating mission managers and satellite operators forced to dodge the potentially debilitating bits.


USA-193 is already on its way toward Earth and the interception will take place at a much lower altitude than that of the China satellite, presumably meaning that whatever happens, there will not be a fresh load of small junk sent into perpetual orbit.


If more details were made public, the model results could change depending on several factors, including the location of the ships and when the missile is fired.


"How the missile hits the satellite will affect how quickly the debris re-enters and what the velocity is between the objects and how they hit," Hall said. "Are they attempting to get most of the debris to come down in the Pacific almost immediately? Or ... over the course of two or three revolutions, is most of it going to start to fall out? If we had different information about the engagement we could re-run our model.
