U.S. demos space weapons technology

whether the shoot-down was intended as a demo or not, it most certainly served as one... imho, there's one hell of a lot more going on here than we've been told...

[A] single SM-3 missile fired from the USS Lake Erie hit the satellite at 10:26 p.m. Eastern time. The missile struck the dead satellite about 150 miles above Earth as it traveled in orbit at more than 17,000 mph.
