1. How does that make you a bad Democrat...?
I think it's more of a guy thing, not divisible along political lines...long as no one's gettin' hurt... :D

2. Oh there was some rumbling on some boards that the spy sat was a coverup
That is, the spy sat had been spying on US citizens and they wanted to erase all evidence...

Of course, the sat is nothing more than a camera...and itself wouldn't have any evidence on it....

6. I thought they should have put a camera on the missle.
I wasn't at all impressed by the grainy, black and white explosion.

Hollywood has ruined explosions for me. :P

8. It is okay to be amazed. I am too. When they first announced they were
going to shoot down a sattelite I was like "good luck with that".

11. I thought it was remarkable.
Whatever purpose they did or did not have, I can't imagine the mathematical precision required to pull that off.

12. Could you see any bodies flying out of it?
They should have these for all the manned spy missions:

You never know when the engine won't start, and it's no fun at all to be lost in space.
