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.

And as it makes its thousands of miles long trajectory re-entering the earth's atmosphere, gradually burning up along the way, with the winds dispersing the smoke, just how much of a concentration of the beryllium that this spacecraft might contain, do they think any one person is likely to inhale?

Let me guess, this guy believes in the danger global warming poses too.
