More on China's ASAT test

One thing I and most media stories didn't mention about the Chinese ASAT test was the debris from the test (all those small bits from the smashed satellite) is already causing concern for those who have other satellites up there. If some of the debris crosses another satellite's path (or the international space station for that matter), it could be bad. Small pieces could damage solar panels while larger pieces can act as their own ASAT weapon and take the satellite off line.

Hat tip Argghhh!!!
