I also have had an intrest in the satilite for the past few days. One of things that confuse me is that the incoming satalite might be somewhat of a mystery but I would think that the authorities had more information on the rouge satellite than they do about the flight path of an in-bound missile...so why couldn't they tell us where the crash was going to happen? Also if we can shoot a missile out of the sky, why can we not shoot a piece of space junk?
