| 747120 | 2009-02-12 06:29:00 | When the defunct Russian satellite collided with the American active Iridium series one, was it a case of steam giving way to sail? Should the satellite on the left give way? How can the legal profession profit from this? | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 747127 | 2009-02-13 09:46:00 | It wasn't a CIA/US Govt satellite but one that belonged to Iridium which a private corporation. They're not in the business of crashing expensive, functioning satellites for giggles. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 747128 | 2009-02-13 10:07:00 | I think it's stunning that anything at all collided up there. There's a hell of a lot of space in, umm, space. For the satellites to be in exactly the same place at exactly the same time is remarkable. | Deane F (8204) | ||
| 747129 | 2009-02-13 10:34:00 | The Russian Satellite wasn't launched all that long ago. After being put in orbit the Russians lost contact with it and nobody new where it was. On TV tonight they showed you how much stuff is orbiting the earth everything from satellites to space junk. You could just make out the earth in the background. Even a toolbox and all its tools is floating around the earth. One was lost from a space shuttle mission. :) |
