Who even thought to ask?
how are you going to blow it out of the sky? it is already nonfunctional. it is coasting on momentum. it doesn’t need to be airworthy to keep staying up there. it doesn’t matter if it is shattered. it wasn’t going to come down in one piece anyway. it was always only particular pieces of it made of high temperature alloys abd ceremics that was going to survive reentry and reach the surface.
