I remember speaking to one guy who used to work on Orbit object monitoring system designed to monitor satelites and rocket launches about 200 km from Moscow. Later same station was show on Russian TV as some kind of "technical wonder". It can detect all object on orbit around Earth as small as simple PCB board of sound card in your PC, it can detect smaller objects but it does not make sence cuz there is too many of them. Now if scientists are trying to detect planets 1G light years away, location and orbit of satelite orbiting earth is such a "SECRET". Once reading astronomy digest (russian version) I remebre note below list of satelites saying: "inactive or dead satelites are not included", some people tend to confuse space junk for "SECRET" satelites :-)))
Americans not only getting more fat over time they also tend to get more paranoid about many things, sometimes it sound very stupid in the manner of meadlle age vitch stories. Go to school guys and read more of real scince, watch less TV.
