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.

What they're really worried about but can't say in public, is the nuclear reactor inside th e satellite that kept it running.

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:

I remember when SkyLab was comming down.
A buddy of mine  spray painted a big bulls eye in his yard and the word "SkyLab" with an arrow pointing to the bulls eye.

Unfortunately. It missed LOL

Apparently it's solar powered, so there's no radioactive danger.  The hydrazine it's supposed to carry shouldn't survive re-entry.
