Mind your head!
I read this in the paper today and just in case you didn't know about it I thought you should know.A six ton spacecraft will crash to Earth this week, NASA's 35ft. long upper atmosphere research satellite is hurling out of control at five miles per second. Scientists cannot predict where it will fall but most of the World is at risk. Debris is expected to scatter across a 500 mile area, with the biggest chunk weighing 330lbs, the size of a fridge freezer. Experts believe it will land on Friday (Robinson Crusoe keep clear of your mate
). NASA admits it could strike anywhere, but there is ONLY a 3,200 chance of hitting anyone.I don't like those odds, 30 in 100,000 or thereabouts, think of a big City with millions, an awful lot of headaches there don't you think?. Don't make any plans for Friday
When I am outside on Friday I will have one eye on the sky

Just read the article online. One expert says "Look at how much of Earth is covered with water... there's a really good chance it's going to go straight into the ocean."Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/...#ixzz1YQot4KZ0
