Space Race

Has anyone seen "Space Cowboys"? I don't know if I beleive the story the world was fed about Chinas recent space satelite destruction. They say that it was a test to destroy one of their weather sattelites. I think maybe there was something wrong with the sattelite. I can be very embarrsing to have something happen like that, especially if theres something on the satelite that they are trying to hide. No I'm just kidding, I dont think theyre trying to hide anything like in that movie. But it is odd that they took so long to give an example. If it was just a simple test why coulnt they just tell everyone right away. I dont think its a smart way to prove a point considering satelites are extremely expensive and many parts can be reused from them. And i know that the US would be very upset if one of their satelites were to fall victim to the Chinese anti-satelite system, which is just a ballistic missle. So China, maybe be a little quicker in your responses after blowing something up, okay?
