It seems a disabled spy satellite, the size of a bus, is falling from the sky and could hit the earth somewhere. Does this worry you at all?

I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like the governments are well aware of it and working on a plan to deal with it if it endangers anyone. Hopefully it won't come to that, but things seem to be well in hand.
Although, the story does make me wonder about the environmental impact of all these satellites being dropped into the ocean. It would seem to be that rocket fuel in the ocean would cause an uproar among environmentalist groups like oil spills do.

Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

President Bush has ordered that the spy satellite be shot down before it comes back to earth. Here's more on the story, and how they plan to do it:

What happens to the stuff they shoot if they miss it?
