On Wednesday, 20 February, the US will try and hit the falling satellite with a missile. Now what is going to happen if they miss? I wonder just what the real odds are for them to take it out on the first go. – I really hope, they will take it out on the first shot. I’m old enough to remember the Vanguard fiasco in 1958. – If they don’t knock it out, there will be all sorts of hell to pay, especially as this is an election year. Fun and games!
