20 years from now are we going to be talking about how great it was back in the olden days when we had weather prediction, GPS, TV, and telecommunications?
When something is taboo, like filling the heavens with deadly space junk, the psychological barriers to it are pretty strong. Those barriers have been lowered a significant amount with this stunt.

Give us a break will ya. You really don't believe that tripe do you. You seem like a really smart guy. Any thing up there gets burnned up fairly well if it tries to get through that thing called the atmosphere, anything below it fell into the water. The damm Chinese pour more crap into the oceans and skys on a daily basis then that one sat is going to do. Nothing wrong with protecting national secrets.
