Russian Federal Space Agency The failed Russian Mars probe Phobos-Grunt is predicted to crash back to Earth between in the next few days. The spacecraft will fall between 51.4 degrees north latitude and 51.4 degrees south latitude, as shown in the diagram. What are the chances it falls on the White House?
Maybe it could fall on the Mitt Romney campaign bus.
But they have had horrible luck with Mars.
Not that our is that good.
Face it... Going to Mars is freaking HARD.

It’s only 2-1/2 tons of nearly indestructible metal hurtling uncontrollably into the Earth.
What could possibly go wrong?
Phobos-Grunt was identified to be no high-risk object,”
The risk is elevated if it falls on you!
What a moronic, overwrought, vapid headline from MSNBC..hey things haven’t changed on the never watched channel... Jeez I don’t think I’ll be joining “the World” in waiting for the space junk to vaporize. God this mindless sh*t wears me out.
So, wasn't the chance of toxic hydrazine coming down the reason we shot down our errant satellite back in '08??? At first blush it would seem someone is lying. I mean, was the hydrazine really a danger then? Or are they downplaying the danger now?
The only explanation that comes to mind is that our satellite was "dead" and the heaters had shut down and the hydrazine had frozen. Maybe this bird is still semi-alive and the hydrazine is in liquid form and thus more likely to dissipate rather than crash land?
