1. How will this affect the Missile Defense Shield currently under development?
2. Is China still to remain "most favored nation" trading partner?
3. Any ideas how this will affect geo-political economics? (Think about how multi-national companies will fare if billion dollar satellites get shot down. How will they conduct commerce?)
4. Military satellites, and military operations are certainly beginning to understand the "pucker factor" now aren't they?

1. Just reaffirm what was already known highly suspected.
2. Dunno--this won't effect that to any large degree.
3. Shouldn't much at all or anymore then the prospect of a war that would actually entail the likely destruction of such things already does.
4.Its always been a real threat.
