For those of you who would like to know why I am so outraged by Reagan's
recent decision to test the ASAT, the arguments against ASAT testing are
well expressed in the Scientific American article "Antisatellite Weapons",
on pages 45-55 of the June 1984 issue.  I cannot do the article justice by
summarizing it here, so I strongly recommend that everyone interested in
this topic read the article before continuing this discussion.
