🚩 (ASAT), Anti-Satellite weapons that shatter satellites create a space hazard. 🚩@ GBG.

1.  Although the (ASAT) programme, which India started some 10 years back, was and is  a step forward for our nation, but the incumbent  government in election mode,  gave the actual firing orders for one of the (ASAT) missiles to be fired, destroying one of our own satellites. 

2.  My simple questions are, Was the dramatic exercise worth it❓
Are we trying to impress the world, or just about trying to thrill our domestic audience ❓
 As far as the world is concerned, well, it already knew that we have ASAT capability,  so what have we gained by messing up our own living satellite, which even if redundant, could have still been used as a platform for some little experiment in space❓
Was it worth it,  to destroy a living satellite,  which India had spent billions of ₹s, in  manufacturing  and launching ❓

3.  United States has reacted by stating that  ASAT weapon tests risk making a ' Mess  in Space ',  because of debri-fields that the destroyed satellite leaves behind. As per news reports,  the United States has said that,  It  was still studying the outcome of  the missile India claims to have launched at, 'One of it's Own Satellites.'  

4.  Scientists and military experts maintain that  anti-satellite warheads,  that shatter their targets in space, end up creating a cloud of fragments, that can collide with other objects, potentially setting off a chain reaction of projectiles flying  through 'Earth's Orbit', which could further create a major space hazard. 

5. We all live in the same space, and atleast for the time being, we only have one earth, and we only have one space.  Let’s not mess  it up ourselves.  The adventure is worth it politically, but the potential risks are phenomenal too. 

6.  On the positive side, the message is clear, that India is no more in an 'appease all' mode, and we do have the will and capacity to strike, but this one was a little drunk cowboy type action, where you set your own tractor on fire, just to show the village, that you have a lighter in your pocket now.
