This should be interesting.

The US has decided to shoot down a failed satellite that is expected
to drop
out of orbit in early March.
There is concern that half of the 5,000 lb satellite may remain
intact and
hit the earth in a yet unknown area.

The plan is to shoot it down before it enters the earth's atmosphere
with a
missile fired from a US Navy ship.

Details at 11.

I suspect there are concerns which are equal in importance to safety,
like assuring that some pieces don't end up in the wrong hands.
Better for them to land in 1000 feet of water.


Any way it could be forced down on the vast wasteland of a certain
ersatz ranch in Crawford, Texas?

Leave it to Harry to use sick humor to reveal his hatred.
