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

Does it concern you ? I'm not going to hide, but I will listen closer to the news from NASA & Space.com

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
