why won't another country shoot it down?

Well, that could lead to a major international incident. It would be REALLY interesting if the US tried to shoot down the satellite, but another country got concerned about toxic pollution and shot down the US's missile with anti-missile missiles.

I guess that would be ridiculous. Missiles in general are pretty poisonous, exploding or not.
