Loved that movie. Ill have to see if it is still available. First thing I thought of when I saw the headline for this article.

Kenya has a space agency?

Saw a funny movie once about a coke bottle that fell out of the sky like that.

That metal ring did not re-enter Earths atmosphere from Space. It is not burnt looking at all.

Kenya Space Agency ... I’m sure it is well staffed with very highly paid relatives of the current political biggies, and that they attend all the major conferences that international organizations like to hold in five star resort locations.

They might even think about space from time to time.

1,100 pounds. That could leave a mark.

So that's what the inscription means on the wife's wedding ring. That sure explains a lot. Thanks!

How does a “separation ring” make a controlled descent?

I noticed that little bit of BS myself.

[US_MilitaryRules]

I did too! I thought KSA ? WTF! BB material.

[Tudorfly]

Kenya Space Agency? Who knew? Or cares?

[GingisK]

It is a little better than getting hit by a de-orbiting toilet seat.
