What's A Satellite Killer?

The question is, “What’s a Satellite Killer?”

I was watching NASA’s unexplained files the other evening and they mentioned “Satellite Killers.”

This is basically a space weapon that’s designed to incapacitate or destroy a satellite.

Now I’m not a scientist but the amount of satellites we have in space at the moment is astronomical at approx 2,271 so if there is a satellite killer in the mix wouldn’t they already know, especially if one of their satellites were missing?

However the worse thing is that more than 500,000 pieces of debris is tracked as they orbit the Earth.

So with this knowledge, in my opinion they should forget about the satellite killer and design a satellite dustcart to collect all this rubbish and tidy up the universe before our neighbouring aliens come to visit us.

But that’s only my opinion, what do you think?
