Large American spy satellite heading towards Earth

by - source: Tom's Hardware UK

As far as I’m concerned there’s nothing like a good end of the world film to get you going.

Who would have thought you’d get the same rush upon hearing that there is a large, disabled, American spy satellite falling at great speed and it’s headed right for Earth ?

Not only that, but officials say they have no control over what it does and have no idea where it will land. If the satellite does hit earth, it is expected to do so late in February or in early March. Lovely.

Spokesman for the National Security Council, Gordon Johndroe, said in a statement,

“Appropriate government agencies are monitoring the situation. Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly. We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damage this satellite may cause.”

We vote for missiles !
