They're gonna do what?

Apparently the the Pentagon is going to shoot down a disabled spy satellite because it has toxic fuel on board, which could potentially harm anyone it comes into contact with on the ground.  So, we are going to shoot it down from a Navy ship---in the middle of an ocean---isn't that kinda where water/ food/ etc comes from???  Oh, but if the first shot fails, they should have time for a second shot...

Bright Idea #1 Putting it up there in the first place
Bright Idea #2 Announcing to the world that it is there, what it is, and that it needs to come down
Bright Idea #3  Shooting it down over an ocean
