        This. It wasn't an ICBM. If Israel can take out ICBMs, we might as well bow down and accept their superiority. Still a very good interception for Arrow 3.

              NTA but I explained it for you here, retard

              No retard, a complete orbit can't be supplied without constant acceleration you just end up with a parabolic arc no matter how big it gets (within reason, obviously at some point you are out of the influence entirely but that is beyond this scope)
              [...]
              Anyway the idea that any country would welcome ballistic threats just for fear of interactions with sats is beyond retarded. This sounds like a thirdy cope excuse for lacking the capability more than anything.

              Space != orbit, space is arbitrarily defined by altitude, it isn't relevant to the question of what constitutes a threat. Knocking out a balloon at 100km would get news for being a le heckin space shoot down.

            You are already in orbit. You have the acceleration already.

        You can. Just shoot it sideways above let's say 40000mph with the rotation of the earth. The earth rotates, rotates around the sun etc. Probably get use the moon a little but you could get in orbit then stay above drag for a while.

          Now that's a completely fictional and irrelevant scenario, but you're still not getting into orbit with a single jolt of acceleration.
          A gravity assist from the moon near your apogee would be the second source of acceleration that pulls your perigee up.

            Yeah you would use the moon, earths spinning and some other slight gravities to level your orbit post shot.
            There is no 0 to 100 gs instantly. Time exists. 5 seconds to 50 you can get into orbit just by aiming right. There is no escape altitude just escape velocity. I can't tell if you are baiting me or it's confusion

      To most of them, the science behind it is pure fucking sorcery and impossible, therefore there's no way the US - which spends almost a trillion dollars a year on mil shit and is a leader in tech development - could possibly have it or do it.

      It's just a small spacecraft firing its attitude control thrusters. Moon landing era tech. We tested that tech on Earth gravity too, and even did simulated moon gravity for the lander trainer--far more impressive engineering feat than those toys.

    to all the retard norocketz itt, when you try to enter orbit with no acceleration in later stages the gravity of the planet will bring you back exactly to the point of origin (ignoring air resistance, collision with the surface or reaching escape velocity at which point) without fail. The only way to elevate your perigee is to burn sideways at the desired height. This is why rockets change their bearing while they climb

      No no . You said with a single shot. Here proof it did happen with Osiris they briefly touched down on the asteroid grabbed some stuff. Tilted at a slight angle and burned off at escape velocity aimed at earth
      Same principle with earth and the moon. With a single shot from earth.
      But you could use things spinning and draft plus boost to get a solid orbit.
      Oops here's your proof

        1. None of is using a single impulse of acceleration ala an impact, which was the topic of discussion
        2. Asteroids typically have small zones of influence so it's much more feasible to escape with a single impulse than a planet
        3. While at some point in power or confounding circumstance, a single impact can lead to an orbit, this is not relevant to the relative energy levels of a ballistic intercept, nor does it pose a threat to satellites (the point in contention) because the resulting orbit is either capture into a complete new sphere of influence or at best very wonky.

        When a ballistic missile explodes at any point during its trajectory, the fragments will fall back towards Earth.
        They won't reach escape velocity. Not even orbital velocity.

        Take a moment to consider that the detonation velocities of explosives like TNT are lower than low Earth orbital velocity.
        Even if the velocity of a raw detonation was perfectly transferred to the fragments, ignoring mass/inertia completely and assuming a perfect velocity vector, it still wouldn't be enough.

          well yeah, but my point was that even if the debris shot out at light speed it wouldn't enter orbit. You either burn up in the atmosphere or shoot out of the sphere of influence, there's no inbetween

            That's right.
            Though in practice, with the energies and trajectories involved in potential in-space ICBM shootdowns, nothing's leaving Earth's gravity well.
