Mission accomplished

Cue the “Star Wars” music. This one is right out of the movies.

They didn’t need Bruce Willis, but the U.S. Navy says they have blasted a disabled spy satellite out of the sky. Click here to read all about it.

I realize the government’s concern about the supposed toxic fuel that was on board this rocket and the danger it posed should it crash to earth.

But to be honest, I only think of one thing when I look at this story.

Missile Defense. Yep, that program that everyone mocked when it was first raised by Ronald Reagan.

I have no idea if this incident even translates to the so-called “Star Wars” defense program.

But it’s nice to know we have that capability if we need it.
