Duck!

I'm somewhat concerned that The Guardian casually informs us that "A US spy satellite thought to be the size of a bus has lost power and could hit the Earth in late February or early March". And not that reassured by the BBC telling us that "space experts don't believe the rogue satellite poses much of a threat to humankind".

Err, can they define, 'much' in this context? Ah, I see, "the probability in this case that someone will be hit is really remote." Well, that's OK then...

Ahem. I can't help noticing, Sophia, that you are posting stories about large nuclear-powered military satellites. I thought we had established that that was my area. Back off.
