    Satellite loses power, heading toward our planet, CNN has reported. Here's the first paragraph of the report:

    A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and propulsion and could hit the Earth in late February or March, government officials said Saturday. The satellite, which no longer can be controlled, could contain hazardous materials, and it is unknown where on the planet it might come down, they said.

    If you can't build a satellite that can stay in orbit, then you shouldn't be sending them up there.

    We've already had Skylab scattering its junk across Australia.
    $400! :p

    Yawn, even when walking on the street we can be hit by a car driven by a woman driver, when we are walking on the greens, who knows a golf ball may hit us on the head and killed us immediately, when typing this post, maybe my power supply was shorted and I was electrocuted.

    Don't worry too much anything can happen, just let nature takes its course.

    Don't use Patriot, they might miss and hit their own servers instead, we may have to use Yahoo for a while if this happens :)
