Well the Navy is telling us today that they scored a direct hit on the spy satellite. The video below is from LiveLeak.
"Nothing the size of a football remains." -General Cartwright, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In an AP article I read this morning I thought the most interesting part was this:
"While Pentagon officials stressed that the satellite strike was a one- time incident, it certainly will spin off massive amounts of data and research that can be studied by the military as it works to improve its missile defense technologies."
Obviously, China is tracking all the developments and are asking the U.S. to provide data on the shoot out. (Article) Good luck getting that information China.
So I guess the hydrazine fuel is no longer an issue. Not that I believe is ever was the primary concern. Why? Well, here is a link to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for hydrazine. Here is the MSDS for gasoline. Not really a whole lot of difference in the health effects.

At this point I guess the only thing left to say is..
WEAPONS TEST COMPLETE!
