This will be VERY COOL if it actually works. Hope there is a ton of documentation and video while trying to do this.

It seems to be timed with a lunar eclipse. Dark sky
should make for good video.
Watched USA 193 sail over the house last night. The
sun had just gone down (18:40) and it was lit up.
Looked much larger than the the ISS and clearly rectangle. May have been tumbling.
That baby is hualing butt !! Horizon to horizon, 2 minutes !!

What is cool about this exerp is that almost 20 years ago, a US fighter went to the edge of space to fire a missile as well. 16 miles up :eek:

Latest new reports are indicating rough seas may interfere with the shot.. Just ducky.. 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 worth of anti-missile technology, and it gets seasick??
Apparently ten seconds is all you need to lock and load :eek:
