<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Interesting, <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="121202" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/121202-6323-aircraft-communications-navigation-electricalsystems-technician-ch-53">Cpl Private RallyPoint Member</a>. Maybe it got old and overheated like a computer system or a car? It was about 50 years old. Or, are you hinting that maybe the Chinese or some other actor might have been practicing with some sort of anti-satellite weapon (on an old satellite that didn&#39;t matter any longer)? Or maybe even the USA? Wouldn&#39;t that be interesting?!
