Consider: the world owes much to benefactors
Russia and China for their careful stewardship
of space, alert to clean up the detritus they
shoot into the great yonder; satellites whose
useful life has expired. Of course to do so they
must launch missiles to unerringly target their
space junk and in the process create a multitude
of fragments, large and small that will in time
fall to Earth or possibly dent a space station.
Certainly their space rival is discommoded
with the situation of what they claim is the
weaponization of space where either is capable
of aiming directly for U.S. assets and accidents
do happen anywhere. But no sweat the outliers
assert. There are absolutely no underhanded
intentions in this display of superb technological
marksmanship, merely a message quite aptly
interpreted, and unfortunately, misunderstood ...
