You know, with all the debris that's floating around in orbit, I'm mildly amazed that nothing more serious happens (or has happened up until now, anyway).

NASA has a satellite that's stopped responding to commands. It's supposed to re-enter the atmosphere today and some of it might make it all the way to the ground. NASA is reasonably confident that whatevr debris makes it through re-entry will end up in the sea.

But, you know, look both ways and up in the sky before crossing the street.

It would be cool if we had some sort of spacecraft that could dock with and retrieve satellites. Perhaps some sort of launchable, landable shuttle type aircraft. Thanks for that Obama, hope it hits you! ;+)


Seriously though, the Earth is mostly covered with water, so the odds of hitting land are unlikely. It will be breaking up into millions of pieces anyway, but my luck it will still come down on my head. Grim.

Ernst Stavro Blofeld used one in the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice". He used it to kidnap Russian and American space capsules.

I just watched that on Netflix streaming the other night. I think Dr. Evil that is on Austin Powers is a parody of him.
