WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Pentagon is considering whether to shoot down a failed spy satellite that could come crashing back to Earth by March, senior U.S. military officials said Thursday.
The satellite could be shot down by a missile fired from a Navy ship, according to two senior Pentagon officials. The goal would be for the missile to blow up the satellite before it hits the Earth's atmosphere.
