that will be the day hahahaa. India is not even close to launch anything short of a fried chicken to an altitude higher than 15 feet. let alone shoot a satellite out of space.
afcourse they launched a israeli satelite wouahahahahahaha as if. israel is perfectly capabel of launching theyrre own satelites without any help of the comedy capers hehehehhee.
PSLV= Projectile with Supper Low Velocity. as low as in stationary.

should Italy , Japan and Germany start over again? and finish the job this time?
from answers below:
That wasn’t the point of the launch. The satellite was in descent, and was going to crash down on Earth. It was big, and still had all its fuel in its tank (think KABOOM where it hit). If it comes down on a populated area, many would die. The missile launch was to blow up the fuel, and break the satellite into smaller pieces.
I don’t think anyone doubts the US ability to launch missiles, and to speculate that it was the military just flexing is silly.

Good Lord people really need to stop trying so hard to bash the US over anything they can think of.
At one point the US is just going to snap from the all the whining babies and start acting like the country everyone is accusing them of being. And the world really won’t like that.

There are many other setelites from differnt country that are useless now.The one from USA was not just useless but potentialy dangerous if it hit the earth with it’s toxic fuel.So they decided to knock it down.

Answer #1
Do you really think we did it for ‘show and tell” or perhaps it was an aging satellite and we didn’t want any “pieces” to fall into the wrong hands? By blowing it up, the smaller pieces would disintegrate upon reentry.
