I just hit “publish” on my previous post – which I will keep intact so you lot can laugh at me and point your fingers – when I got the update from BBC News that the satellite is indeed history.From BBC this time:

The US has successfully struck a disabled spy satellite with a missile fired from a warship in waters west of Hawaii, military officials say.

Military operatives had only a 10-second window to hit the satellite – USA 193 – which lost control shortly after it was launched in December 2006.

So there you have it. Success.

I will post no more today, and go and sulk while you lot laugh at me.
