The Sky is Falling, The Sky is Falling

Published on January 28, 2008 By foreverserenity In Astronomy

Almost! It has been reported that a US spy satellite has fallen (and can't get up again-corny pun intended!) and is hurtling towards Earth! Link

The rogue satellite will probably hit Earth sometime in February or March! The report said that the satellite has lost power and propulsion and can not longer be controlled by the very people who put it out in space!

So, they don't know where it's going to land, that means it can land anywhere, even in your back yard! They don't know whether it will land on US soil or within our territories where 'we' can retrieve it; or if it will land some place else where 'we' don't want it to go, such as China, North Korea, Russia...etc., etc. It's a spy satellite, 'we' will be compromised!

Here's hoping (and wishing) that when it does reach the Earth's orbit, it lands where 'we' can haul it in! And, here's hoping (and wishing) that it lands where no one will get hurt!

Keep an eye out folks, look up in the sky, it's a plane, a bird, no....a falling satellite!

[I just couldn't resist the puns!]
