I correct you in that a spy-satellite is what is being shot down.. not a missle. I do believe China had some issues with this but i never really heard
the details.
i seen the video on cnn around 2 this afternoon. Quite a neat little scene to watch. I think its crazy how as the missle rises you can see the clouds
and all of a sudden there gone. Its amazing that humans can now reach out and touch space with a ship launched missle.
