Ohhhhh...I see what you guys did there....

 

[Pocatello]

UFO sightings, Larry King invite, History Channel episode about UFO, oh my!

 

[everman]

It will accidentally fall on Iran and everyone forgot it was carrying a big nuke, oops.
Yep, just an accident

 

[Spacehead]

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the information is classified as secret.

Apparently not that secret.

 

[BoomerD]

Tsk, Tsk...REPOST

 

[Rubycon]

They're worried about secrets? What is it made of? The heat of re-entry should take care of most of this should it not? How big are the onboard RTG's?

For longevity purposes all U.S. spy satellites are made out of the only two materials known to mankind to be indestructible. Spam and Twinkies.

I was kind of surprised about that too. I guess even a charred up cinder would give you some idea of the construction of the things? You'd think that you'd need some pretty advanced equipment to be able to get anything useful, though.

Hopefully its reentry won't trigger a Zombie Apocalypse.

 

[JulesMaximus]

They said it weighs about 20,000 pounds and is the size of a small bus. It will create about 10 times less debris than the Space Shuttle Columbia did when it broke apart on re-entry in 2003.

 

[BlackTigers]

Am I the only one that thought of "Space Cowboys" when I read the OP?

 

[Nikamichi]

J.J. Abrams was right.

What he said isn't SECRET.

Nope...first thing I thought too! It's loaded with nukes!!!

 

[FoBoT]

update*

the plan now is to shoot it with a missile

[Kelemvor]

Most, if any, debris that survives the intense heat of re-entry would likely fall into the oceans, which cover more than 70 percent of the planet,

Well duh, just because the oceans make up 70% of the surface doesn't mean that's where they'll end.

 

[dman]

Dang. I guess the odds are in favor of it hitting a populated area instead of the ocean. Sounds like it's still in discussion though.

 

[imported_Imp]

I sure hope there wasn't a toilet seat onboard that thing.

 

[Epic Fail]

Can the missile miss and hit earth?

Who cares, as long as they strap a camera on the nose and let us watch I'm down.
