That's nuts. Dam, I'll have to step up my plans for my Dob Drive system.

I knew there was a reason, why I wanted to follow satellites / etc.
Dear Mr Putin,
Thank you for your correspondence, but as the photos show your Satelitesky was definately on the left, Therefore we assert our rights to retain our no claim bonus and will be forwarding the panel beating quote and towing charge, as soon as they are finalised.
Someone on another list asked if anyone was watching that particular Iridium for flares at the time. The answer from Moscow was conditions at the time were minus 48 degrees Celsius. Wow, that is cold: 88 degrees colder than Canberra last week!
OMG that is just wrong as if it ain't bad enough we litter the earth then we leave all our ****e in space, are they sure we are warming the globe, maybe it will be the other way around with all that crap surrounding the atmosphere, (Global Cooling),
I see so much of these while looking through my scope, how do you guys go with astro imaging must be a nightmare...
Which crash created the most debris?
"A leading space scientist has calculated that Tuesday's collision between an Iridium communications satellite and the defunct Soviet-era Cosmos 2251 spacecraft expended a great deal more destructive energy than China's infamous anti-satellite missile test did in January 2007." http://www.newscientist.com/article/...asat-test.html
S&T says the Chinese test is worse.
"Let's not forget that on January 11, 2007, the People's Republic of China launched a ballistic weapon that struck and destroyed Fengyun 1. The resulting fragments created more space shards than any other event in the history of satellite exploration, creating a hazardous cloud at altitudes ranging from 300 to 2,500 miles." http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/39551797.html
