Debris Spews Into Space in Collision of Satellites / nyt
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/12/sc...ellite.html?hp A wussy little 1.2 tonne Iridium and a few tonnes of something Russian just made one hell of a mess, that’s only going to get worse before getting better for ISS and any number of other satellites. This could cascade, and if it does our future of reliable satellite placements is at risk, not to mention complex consequences for manned missions. ~ BG
