Bob Miller had a military analyst on his show this morning about the satellite shoot down. First off, the missile is a modified heat seeker. Highly modified, in that it won't be heat seeking at all... the satellite in orbit gives off no heat. They say they have a six or seven day window to make the shot so they can wait on the weather. I don't really understand why the weather is a factor, except maybe turbulence in the clouds deflecting the trajectory.

The target satellite is at 300 kilometers. They said the one the Chinese shot down was at 800 kilometers.

Whatever it takes to get it right the first time. This whole fiasco is costing mad, crazy money for the American taxpayers. I can't remember if it will cost billions or mere millions.

I never got blowed by my teachers. Of course, maybe that sort of thing don't happen here in Portland. Too bad. Woulda been nice to been blowed by a teech.
