Attacking this thing probably would set it off. Think about it. You would have to send a shuttle mission. I hope it's not booby-trapped.

Notice the "each of" in that. It's not just one bomb, it takes quite a few of them to destroy the world, which means their one satellite isn't going to do a lot even if it's a cobalt bomb. One cobalt bomb does not a world killer make.

Your jokeing right? Your Tin Foil hat must be giving you some sort of metel poisoning
You can just send a Missle up and shoot it down not to mention the Laser tecnology that been in development since the 1980's and 1990's that to do with blocking satlitiles and shooting them down (No doubt the USA has a working weapon by now).
Hell the UK could take it down if it wanted to
All the North Korean satilite is is a either a test to to see if they can get one up there in which case all its got is a GPS device or its got a cameria and mapping computers in it.

If the US thought they could take it out safely, they would have by now. What don't you understand? You do not want to set it off. A laser would be the worst option, generating a current setting of explosives. Detonating a missile near it to push it out into space may work. You have drank the Kool Aid. You seriously overestimate the capabilities of the United States antiballistic missile and antisatellite capabilities. Star Wars was cancelled for a reason. Show me an antiballistic missile test that wasn't rigged.
