“Disabled spy satellite threatens Earth”

Yes, it threatens the entire Earth. Its very existence. Geez, do they even look at writing samples before they hire these “reporters”?

I really like the line

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

No $h!t sherlock , I wouldn’t want to identified as the one telling secrets either !!!!

I think they have it backwards. It’s Earth and its gravity and atmosphere that are a threat to the satellite, not the other way around.

As for possible hazardous material in the spacecraft, Pike said it might contain beryllium, a light metal with a high melting point that is used in the defense and aerospace industries. Breathing beryllium can lead to chronic, incurable respiratory problems.

So who's gonna try to snort satellite debris? Huey Chavez?
