How U.S. plans to destroy out-of-control spy satellite
NASA administrator Michael Griffin insisted the interception of the L21 spy satellite was not a ruse to try the missile defense system on a satellite or to one-up other countries that have made similar attempts.
China last year launched an anti-satellite missile which destroyed a satellite at a much higher altitude.
Deputy National Security Adviser James Jeffrey said two additional U.S. Navy cruisers, with backup missiles, have been configured for a second and third chance, if necessary.
