Topic: OT: I want a satellite!

[Francois]

I don't know if you heard about that old weather satellite that's about to fall back to earth...
Well, if any of you get a part of it in your yard, would you mind saving the bits and pieces for me so I can put it in my collection of curiosities?

[Phil Bebbington]

François, I'll keep my eyes skyward!

[LT]

don't forget to wear your hard hats tomorrow!

[Diane Peterson]

will do...unless of course it falls in our pond..I'm not going in there with the frogs for anything or anyone!! just so you know...

I saw that satellite last night, honestly.  It was later than it's predicted time so I missed out on making a photo of it...

I want a piece of it too...figure I can go to the salvage yard (The Black Hole) in Los Alamos for it later this year.

If I get a chunk, I'm keepin it. Just sayin. I need a lawn sculpture.

A tenuous excuse to post this, my favorite piece of space imagery

CASSINI MISSION

[Francois]

Well, there's something like once chance on 3200 that someone gets struck by it...
It's bound to be a nice trophy on somebody's mantel...

will do...unless of course it falls in our pond..I'm not going in there with the frogs for anything or anyone!! just so you know...

You mean you won't play frogger for me


But strangely, the kid in me would like to see it smash a car or something... not causing any injury of course...

[Francois]

OK, Diane, you're safe! No frog pond swimming today

Looks like it's going to probably hit the North sea... so hard hats on across the pond

I'm sure some bright-eyed opportunist will be listing satellite space junk on eBay tomorrow. In fact, hmmm...

[Francois]

Well, I do have some aluminum foil in the kitchen...
