#3 So shoot it to pieces just as the chicom / russky mission tries to capture it. First collateral casualties in space. One for the record books...

#12 Actually the best to hope for is that it keplunks in the deeper parts of the pacific.

In many many pieces.

Maybe the Navy should use it for SM-3 terminal intercept target practice?

#13 What's the projected impact (if any) footprint? Gotta be huge, several thousand miles long at least.

#14 Probably best to sleep standing up and present a smaller target...
