Connection to Fahrenheit 451

The way this response connects to Fahrenheit 451 is that no one will try to touch a supertitan. Both Russia in my paper and the country in Fahrenheit 451 are superpowers, and no one will even attempt to fight with anything with that much power. That was one of the biggest factors which allowed the government in fahrenheit 451 to have so much control over its people, and over the enite world.

Fahrenheit 451 major response

Note: The first paragraph is the scenario
Russia has just launched its first bombing capable satellite into space, which can immediately becoming an imminent doom for nearly every other country, since as of yesterday at noon Russia gained the ability to annihilate any country of its choosing on a whim, and with no consequences since all other countries that interfered could be wiped off the map with more conventional or nuclear warheads falling like rain. This, however, is just the beginning of the issue, as no matter what happens to the satellite, it will still be a massive agent of destruction.
Firstly, if the satellite is to be left floating in orbit, Russia will have the power to do virtually anything of its choosing, as no one would be able to get in the way for longer than their country can survive a full scale bombing, as if they have all their military away, who will help the civilians? Even a peace pact with Russia will not stop them from using this imminent threat in the sky as a tool of extortion to get them anything they wish for. Leaving this agent of death and destruction in the sky is not feasible.
Although destroying the satellite may seem much better, how? If one were to disrupt its orbit, Earth’s gravity field would pull it into the atmosphere, and because of the satellite’s massive size it would not burn up in the atmosphere, and would hit ground or sea, both of which would be devastating.
If the satellite were to hit ground, a massive crater would form. To put the massive destruction into perspective, a grain of sand sized particle could create a crater roughly 2 feet in diameter, in other words, enough to crush a human’s skull into fragments. If a massive satellite such as that were to hit ground, even if it were halved in size, the result would be devastating. And if the payload somehow detonated the surrounding population for hundreds of miles around would suffer from severe radiation poisoning, leading them to grisly, cancerous deaths. Even without nuclear warheads, if the conventional warheads went off, the shockwaves could level houses and buildings for miles

By chance if the satellite landed in water, the result wouldn’t be much better at all. Instead of a crater, a tsunami. And again if the satellite’s payload went off, and it happened to have nuclear cargo aboard as the world suspects it does, a radioactive tsunami more than twice the size. Absolutely no better than land even if it only has conventional warheads aboard, .

Even if the satellite somehow was detonated in the air, the unlucky country it was above, whether it was blown up in orbit or not, would have a rain of massive chunks of metal upon it, as plates of metal the size of houses ravage the city below. Assuming the worst, if it does have nukes, instead of metal plates, radioactive fallout. Obviously not an option.

What to do with this behemoth satellite is as of yet unknown. Nearly all options are unfeasible, and a solution may only be found by forcing Russia to unload it of warheads, which will turn out to be much easier said than done.
