China's Missile Test
This story is rather amusing, in a sort of unsettling way. The Chinese apparently shot down one of their own weather satellites with a ballistic missile, causing the US to go ballistic.
I rather prefer the BBC version of the story, because it adds one significant point the Canadian story leaves out.
While the US may be unhappy about China's actions, the Washington administration has recently opposed international calls to end such tests.
It revised US space policy last October to state that Washington had the right to freedom of action in space, and the US is known to be researching such "satellite-killing" weapons itself.
I guess it’s easier to be a hypocrite when nobody points out that you’re a hypocrite.
