That’s because last evening, the US Navy shot down the wayward satellite which could have come down on a populated area and had a fuel tank loaded with volatile hydrazine. Three Cheers for the Navy and the crew of the USS Lake Erie!
Of course, the Russians and Chinese are p*ss*d (so what else is new?) because they didn’t get their chance to track and recover, just in case the satellite came down somewhere else other than North America. And I have to wonder if Taco Bell really did take out insurance on the contingency.
