Unhappy Warning: What goes `Up, must come down : (

Hi Member's,
I thought I better advise everyone to keep your eyes on the skies...Humans keep sending Space Objects in2 `Space, but in time they turn in2 space junk & it falls back to Planet `Earth...
This ones a Big One 2 bad we can give it a pill to stay up there in `Space and not fall down on someone/something.
Does it concern you ? I'm not going to hide, but I will listen closer to the news from NASA & Space.com

Hurry, dig a deep Fox Hole/Bomb Shelter or wear a helmet
A massive, dead satellite that is falling back to Earth on an uncontrolled path is expected to hit the ground sometime in late September, and while most of the debris will break up as it hits the atmosphere, some pieces are expected to reach the ground intact this week Get in your Monte & Drive, it's harder to hit a moving

Chicken Little used to run around yelling the shy is falling. I've heard this before and am sure I will hear it again. I doubt there is much to worry about. I have a better chance of winning Power Ball than getting hit by space junk.
