The satellite has been wandering in orbit in a random path ever since.

Well, no ... it's been in orbit, and like most orbiting rocks it has a quite predictable trajectory.

Stupid reporter....

[mhx]

The only problem is, no one seems to have the faintest idea as to where debris from the 5,000-pound spacecraft will land.

On Earth.

I'll be by to pick up my paycheck shortly.

[Walkingfeather]

It would seem that burt routan could make some heavy bank by sending unmanned recovery craft into space to recover and repair these billion dollar satellites.

Now just where did this so-called journalist get his Ed-u-kation?

Decaying orbits I understand but there is no such thing as a "Random Orbit" as this idiot journalist declares.

[prophetic]

In light of the secrets that are on this bird, the US Military have better have a few ABM's and SM-3 missiles ready to obliterate it when it comes within range.

Anyone at the level of Chief-of-Staff or higher had better have this as a hot option so that our secrets remains exactly that.

[Ranger Drew]

The U.S. is worried that pieces of the satellite may land in another country, allowing that nation's leaders to examine secret American technology.

Yeah, everyone knows if you want secret American technology, all you have to do is call the Clintons for it.

[MaxMax]

I hope it lands on my head so I have an excuse not to vote in Nov.

[Babu]

It’s going to land in my backyard. I have to remember to keep my dogs in the house that day.

[RaceBannon]

I’m callin it, and I got my glove ready...

Spy satellite to crash in early March

What goes up must come down, however this pesky satellite shouldn't have been so stealthy about it's intentions. ; )

[EGPWS]

Short-term exposure to hydrazine could cause coughin, irritated throat and lungs, convulsions, tremors and seizures. Long-term exposure could damage the liver, kidney and reproductive organs.

And "gloooobal waaaarmin" is an issue of focus? ; )

[qam1]

Well if it must come down somewhere

[LurkedLongEnough]

Call Hillary. She takes one glance at it, and it will bump out of its earthward destination and head to anywhere else.

[RightWhale]

The satellite has been wandering in orbit in a random path ever since.

Could be anywhere. Maybe it will crash on the moon.

[krb]

Maybe we could ask the Chinese to test out their satellite killing equipment again.

[GeronL]

if they know exactly when it will de-orbit they could calculate the general area, so as we get closer it’ll get more specific I am sure

[LibKill]

One of the funniest things ever on the original "Saturday Night Live" was John Belushi ranting about the impending fall of the Skylab.

These quotes are from memory so be kind.

"Amongst other things, a 3,000 pound freezer door!

So,there you are, huddling in the corner of your basement with your Civil Defense hardhat on and BAAAAAMMMM!

Flattened like an ant under a flatiron!"

[Blood of Tyrants]

Call me silly, but wouldn’t the hydrazine be among the first things to burn up, high in the atmosphere?

[Islander7]

Hopefully it will fall through my roof. I need the money.

[CindyDawg]

If it is going to burn up then why are they worried about secrets. I bet they have a good idea where it’s going.
