More news on the satellite. I want to be able to see this when they try to hit it with a missle. I love the betting by the way. Blow up the moon

So somebody tell me the logic in this...

"Mr. President, a satellite is going to fall out of the sky!"
"Alright. Let's shoot it down!"

Am I the only who is missing something here?

Satellite falling out of the sky... Solution is to shoot it down...
Seriously?

what other options would you propose? They have no control over the satellite -- I'd rather blow it up than it hit a city or village or any populated stretch of land....

Can they shoot it down reliably, without even giving it a second though. Can they do it reliably without using any secret technology that they don't feel it is worth revealing yet for this project, well I guess we'll see.

I believe skylab (or what was left) burned up in the armosphere above an ocean. The difference is that they think the satellite will survive re-entry and be mostly intact for a crash landing. If they blow it up they solve the problem. Also, if they can blow it up over the ocean no debris should hit anyone or anything on land. I think its the best option. Plus, we spend tons of tax $$$ on weapons. Let's test them out and see what they can really do. Not too many opportunities like this come around.
