Space Mess


BBC: US plans to shoot down satellite
The US military is planning to shoot down a broken spy satellite...

President George W Bush approved the option to fire a missile from a US Navy ship to destroy the satellite...

They say the satellite contains a hazardous material which could be fatal if inhaled by humans.

...the satellite upon descent to the Earth's surface could release much of its 1,000lb plus (454 kg) of its hydrazine fuel as a toxic gas...
Besides containing a liquid fuel that is toxic to people, the satellite contains secret technology.

Watch out for the space pollution, its deadly.

Wonder if anyone thought of crashing the satellite onto a superfund site.
