When I was in high school, my physics teacher ridiculed the proposals some people had made back in '57 to shoot down Sputnik. He said it would be like shooting a mosquito with a rifle at 500 yards. Now swatting that mosquito isn't so hard.
I'm divided between thinking that this really wasn't necessary and thinking that it's really neat that it could be done.
