Apparently satellite parts fell somewhere near Calgary in Canada.

Just went on to google to get an update. Every time I clicked on a website it wouldn't load properly. So now I'm wondering if there really was a satellite or is that what NASA want us to believe. Just like in Roswell when they said that the UFO was a weather balloon.
Where are Mulder and Scully when you need them??

speaking of weather balloons.....that reminds me of one of the most inspiring, yet utterly inconceivably stupid stories i ever read about....LAWN CHAIR LARRY.

Check this clown out. Tony, if you read this, Larry made Heath Robinson look like a boy scout with this aviation awesomeness!

HAHAHA!!! That's brilliant.

"Then, armed with some sandwiches, Miller Lite, and a pellet gun, he strapped himself into his lawnchair."

The bit i found just mind blowing was how to climbed to 16,000 feet - and he didnt wear a jacket....little chilly i bet.

Having topped out on Mont Blanc twice (just shy of 16000ft), if it's windy it can get quite chilly!
On the other hand, cloudless sky & no wind, you can be wandering around in a t-shirt, gets quite warm. The air's so thin you just fried by the sun.

Surviving getting tangled in the powers and not getting fried was quite lucky.

This was funny, "he did not float lazily up to 30 feet. Instead he streaked into the LA sky as if shot from a cannon"

Came to a sad end though didn't he.

Yea mate he did. Shame really, but i guess once youve circum navigated LA in a make shift Air balloon....not much else really worth achieving in life is there. He obviously felt he had accomplished all he needed to lol

Well, there is another one on it's way down. Less than a month after the UARS satellite grabbed the headlines, the German space agency says one of its abandoned satellites will dive back to earth later this month, but no one knows where it will land. The ROSAT X-ray astronomy observatory is smaller and less massive than the UARS but NASA predict it will spread three times more debris and pose a greater threat to people than UARS. My guess this time will be October 25 and the Pacific Ocean. :biggrin:
