a dead spy satellite plummeting out of control towards Earth!!

I read in another story the thing weight 20,000 lbs. Jeepers, is'nt that kinda big for a satellite? I thought those things were built lightweight.:confused:
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

Yeah, look at the story here:http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080127/ap_on_go_ot/dead_satellite

It's funny, they are worried about Hydrazine...When that thing gets' hot on re-entry, that Hydrazine will go up like a bomb in that satellite, Pretty much incinerating everything.

Panic!  Shriek! Is this the satellite that holds all our wireless phone numbers and GPS addresses?  Will we have to use paper phone directories and paper maps?  Run away!  Run away!  (looking for rabid rabbit icon)  :rolleyes:
