Link to ABC News story: China's Space-Weapon Test Could Endanger Astronauts and Satellites - Engineers Say Ring of Debris Is Forming in Orbit, and a Marble-Sized Piece Could be Dangerous. Story by Ned Potter. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/print?id=2841745
Quote from my old friend and former Satellite Times magazine colleague, Dr. TS Kelso: "There's a lot of stuff up there in low-Earth orbit," said T.S. Kelso, a veteran space-surveillance analyst who is now at the Center for Space Standards and Innovation in Colorado Springs, Colo. "While we can't tell them that 'five months from now, you're at risk for being hit,' it's not unreasonable to expect that it's going to affect a lot of stuff in orbit."
