It’s only 2-1/2 tons of nearly indestructible metal hurtling uncontrollably into the Earth.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hey, we get over 22K tons of stuff falling on us every year.

But yeah, I do feel better if it's dust sized instead of having components DESIGNED to survive re-entry.

On the bright side, the CCCP hasn't managed to soft land much on Mars, so maybe this will be toasty and fine-grained before it hits the ground.

The Phobos-grunt probe. That could hurt, somebody.
