The system is meant for ground attack by dropping rods..not at each 
others' satellites.

Ya. The 'rods from god' has been talked about for years.

They would make a great bunker-buster without
that pesky fallout that you get with a mini-nuke.

The only problem with using the "Rods From GOD" (RFG) as bunker busters 
is that you still need a significant explosive warhead to wipe out the 
contents of the bunker once you have penetrated it. I doubt that RFG 
would be sufficiently accurate for use as an antipersonnel device. 

Then again, even the space shuttle has had classified military missions in 
the past, so there's no telling what's really been put in orbit.
It's not like anyone else can go up and check what the satellites actually 
do.

Ummmmmm. Yes we can. And do. 

Problem here is that we don't know what potential booby traps may be 
installed.
