Spy Satellite Hurtling Towards Earth!

When you think about the reality of how much space junk there is orbiting above us, it really belittles the danger of an asteroid deep impacting all over our lands. I am probably late to the party, but was stirred up by this SHOCKING NEWS on Wired earlier today, and I spent a good hour reading the posts from this site. I love this shit. Not that it will end up being all that exciting - the US Govt will probably remove 193 from circulation long before it has the chance to break up in pretty pretty fireworks over the horizon. But in these low times of writers-strike reruns, is-he-really-still-running primary debates, sub-tolerable cold fronts, and a bitch of a SOTU hangover, I think a spy satellite HURTLING towards earth at a slow and predictable rate is enough for a CNN ticker in ITALICS! Yes, Wolf, in ITAL!!

Totally agree! When I found out about this on Monday, the story was not featured prominently on MSN. Then it disappeared not too long after I read it. Of course, they claimed to not know where/when it was to hit Earth. Riiiight.

You know they're going to blast that shit right out of the sky before it gets too close to anyone - probably spreading radioactive waste all over the liberal media and Al Franken.
