Google censors anti-satellite graphic

ASAT3.jpgSeeing that the anti-satellite test was a bit embarassing for China, Google has blocked Chinese users from seeing an image showing the anti-satellite graphic.

According to officials, three MIT researchers, Geoff Forden, Ted Postol and Subrata Ghoshroy, produced a color graphic showing the flight path of the missile that destroyed an orbiting Chinese weather satellite by ramming it with a non-explosive warhead.

Google removed the graphic from its service.
