[FPSPACE] Dumb and dumber

[E.P. Grondine]

Hi all  - 

Gosh gee - only 80 fragments.

You know, it's not that strange that the folks who
designed and launched USA-193 never though about what
they would do if it entirely didn't work.

One of the best schemes I have ever seen for reducing
the amount of debris in orbit used the blast of a
small rocket engine to put them on a re-entry paths.
But there didn't seem to be time for that.
