American satellite on a collision course. - Jan 29, 2008 12:47

Spy satellite' s fall from orbit will be second largest uncontrolled crash in history


Maybe it will burn in the atmosphere, maybe it will land in the ocean. Or maybe it will land on some poor focks house. Let' s take bets.

There is a good chance it' ll end up in the ocean, I don' t think they' ll go public with what is happening, it is a military satelite and that guy wasn' t supposed to talk about it to begin with.. I think those are designed not to burn up in the atmosphere.

It will begin its final plunge towards an Earth in February or March.


An Earth? There' s more than one? Shit!

Well yeah there is more than one.

There is the Earth that we live on, and then there is Earth 2 which is populated wholly by Scientologists. There they are awaiting the return of their beloved founder and leader Tom Cruise.

Wherever it hits there will be a big military operation to recover it. Military satellites are powered by nuclear fuel cells so lets hope it lands in Iran and they refuse to hand it over!

I second that notion. Am I the only one that thinks that would make a kick-ass future war film?

Maybe they did it on purpose knowing it would land in Iran triggering an accidental nuclear explosion.

Hopefully.

That would be great, only a couple more towelhead controlled countries left to go after we purge Iraq and Afghanistan.

The only stuff I' ve seen from Ridley Scott are Blade Runner, Black Hawk Down & Kingdom of Heaven, so I couldn' t say.

I do know that he' s thinking about re-making The Warriors.

Sorry Loco, I usually polish up the remainder of the weekends classwork Sunday night. Multitasking between a movie & homework is easy peasy... homework and Call of Duty 4?

We might as well write out the responsible part of me.

Last night/this morning, you came in a little after Iad left right? He' s an absolute riot when he' s wasted.

Cool, the red moon. I don' t think I' ve seen a lunar eclipse with my bare eyes.

Lets all try to take pictures. Anyone have a camera with a large optical zoom?

No, but I' ve got a shitty camera with a shitty optical zoom. I just took some insanely small pictures. I' ll post em sometime tonight or tomorrow. They' re really not worth seeing though.

Yeah the shots I took were useless. I need a big fucking lense to take pictures of the moon.
