Government Spending $60 Million to Shoot Down Satellite: Is it worth it?
There is an errant satellite now circling the earth that James Jeffrey, deputy national security adviser, exclaims has only a remote possibility of falling to earth, surviving re-entry, and spewing toxic gas into a populated area.

Despite this "remote" possibility, the government is preparing to spend $60 million dollars to shoot it down; Is this a wise decision?
  • Yes!! You cant put a price on the possibility of losing lives!!
  • Im way too cool to care about this...
  • No Way!! Thats a lot of money to spend to prevent something that will very likely not to happen.

    The government is not worried about killing people, their worried about their information getting into the wrong hands.
