As it has been stated earlier, the idea of two objects directed to hit each other in space is not exactly a cakewalk. The Gemini Orbital Docking, the first U.S space-docking operation (Not sure if the Soviets did something first.) was described by an engneer working on the project as "Getting two bullets to meet, point to point in an orbit around the earth." These Microsatelites are a nice idea but have no basis in reality. One slip and the thing will fly off into oblivion.
The idea of a 'Stealth' Space Shuttle is very intresting, but along with what you said, it sounds ridiculously expensive and incredibly complicated, too dependant on time windows and such. If anything, the most resonable bot by no means ideal way is to bring the satelite down with a laser or even some sort of 'tractor beam' and make the satelite come down to earth after making it 'go silent', total elimination of GPS or other tracking systems. Though one might want to 'flub' a co-ordinate for the satelite to make it seem as if it is in one spot on earth when you can 'land' it in your proverbial back yard. But data would likely be comprimised from Re-Entry, assuming the satelite comes down in peices bigger than a dime.
This can be pretty much picked apart, and has been by our intelectual circle. Irrational Fear: 0, Intelegent Analasys: 1.
