Is great to see how the US war machine now is worry abouth the health of the citizens of this planet....!!! After having used pesticides in Vietman and being prepared for chemical and nuclear war.... While they keep developing tactical nuclear (and bigger and "more efficient" conventional) warheads....and in doing so making most likely other countries want to develop their own nuclear weapons...making this a less secure planet...not a more secure one... Now the Pentagon is worry about some hydrazine flying above our heads might poisson some of us....we thank them!!!.... Of course...nothing to do with test of anti-satellite weapons.....how could we ever imagine something like that... L. Hernandez Mexico City
