Really, this is the first time that a rocket has been intercepted and destroyed in space and that's the best you can do.
Iβve been reading the news so in perspective, itβs hard to celebrate. Call me old fashioned.
So not paying attention to the topic and your knee jerked.
Youβre wilfully misinterpreting me now. Move on.
I'd be more impressed if there weren't rockets in space worth blowing up
Lived near a few air bases. Have heard the boom of an SR71 going low and fast. But, the loudest I've ever heard was a meteorite or space junk breaking the sound barrier overhead. And that includes the shuttle which had a great sound as it passed over on landing.
Had a chance once to stand about 100m from a B1 Lancer while it performed a full afterburner combat takeoff.
Just absolutely incredible... It's so ungodly loud that your ears basically have no purpose and it's like you are hearing through your whole body.
Point being, peo0le couldn't have heard the explosion in space, but they could certainly hear the missle parts falling at speed through the atmosphere
