Default Russians screw up their Mars mission...AGAIN

http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n1111/11phobosgrunt/

bad design low gain antenna cant communicate with earth, blocked by
stage that didnt seperate.....

so this fully fueled vehicle full of hydrazine will be returning
somewhere on earth......

imagine that coming down in a big city........


wonder if the us military will volunteer to destroy it to minimize the
risk.....
