It could be that this attack was intentionally designed to hit low-value targets and use older missiles to minimize casualties whilst simultaneously giving the perception of a massive, well-coordinated attack on the homeland of the perceived enemy. It would be an opportunity for both sides to de-escalate without either side losing face. I wouldn't be surprised if the Iranian, Israeli, and US governments had jointly discussed and greenlighted this operation through their backchannels prior to its execution.

A more extravagant repeat of January 2020 and April 2024, if you will.
Geopolitics at play as always. What we see outside is only what they let you see. Lol

Man if Israel strikes Iran oil and gas infrastructure then it’s fair game for the entire Persian Gulf monarchies to see their oil and gas infrastructure getting totally destroyed. This is truly insane what Israel is planning. This war could potentially lead to the collapse of the global economic system. I might have to start buying extra food and fuel supplies because it is going to get ugly.

It could get even worse Iran could target Israeli ports, airports, technological parks and other economic infrastructure including Intel Fabs there who I think is more precious for Israel that the Arabs oil. Is pretty close to the precipice.

Not really what? I really didn't mean look good to Iranians because Iranians or those groups fighting Israel now because they have an extremely low threshold for calling something a success. Iran's supreme leader called Hezbollah the winner for getting its entire leadership whacked. So for them, yeah, if missiles were launched and any hit the ground in Israel, they'll all cheer like a bunch of monkeys but to those who are watching afar, Iran's missile strike would be an expensive nothing burger if it didn't 1. kill important Israeli officials and/or 2. destroy very expensive equipment like F-35. So far, I'm not hearing any reports of casualties from Israel and no reliable rumors even of F-35 being destroyed. It might look good to those whom are so very accustimed to total defeat by Israel but so me, I'm not seeing anything worth a shit in this missile strike yet.
To be honest, it's normal for Hamas/hezbollah and "resistance axis" supporters to have such a low threshold of success. Since they are the weaker side. So any little damage on Israel soil is celebrated as a big victory for them, even when there's little to no damage. To them symbol is more important. I don't blame them, it's normal. When your adversary is more powerful and more advanced it's normal your threshold of victory is low. What do you want them to do?
It's like when the Germans invaded and conquered Greece there were Greeks rebels who were still hiding and launching isolated attacks on German soldiers/equipment with little damage yet they celebrated as a big win due to power imbalance . Same with Russia's invasion of Poland , many Polish rebels were still launching isolated sporadic attacks against Soviet forces occupation of Poland though they didn't make much difference bit they still celebrated their attacks and saw it as a victory. Lol its the only to boost your own moral when you know you are far weaker and powerless against your opponent.
So it's normal and expected. I don't blame them.

..

Why would it glow in space where the temperature is almost 0K?
Detected and tracked =/= lock on.
Because it was heated during ascent and is several hundred degrees kelvin hotter than the background. Furthermore, there is no heat convection in space: objects release heat solely through radiation.
