Spy Satellite Falling Back To Earth

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.

lol, its like it lands in Thoul's neigborhood. I wouldn't worry either, its not gonna be too much of a problem otherwise my spanish teacher would have said something. She knows all!

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:

News reports say they might try to shoot this satellite down on thursday. I wonder if they will hit it.

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

They're going to shoot at it with a missile. If it misses, it would probably burn up during re-entry or they'd blow it up by remote control.

Yay for success!
