China launched a medium range missile at one of their low orbit satalites and blew it up earlier this month.

That means that our military guys are now saying, "Fuck!"

So, lets take a brief survey of the kinds of things that we use satatllites for:

Astronomy - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astr..._satellite
Communications - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comm..._satellite
Navigation - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navi..._satellite
Reconnaissance - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reco..._satellite
Earth Observation - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eart..._satellite
Space Stations - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_station
Weather - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_satellite



So yeah...if your phone ever quits working, your water supply is acting messed up and nothing is coming in on your television, chances are that we are at war with China.
