    How many really believe that the Russian and American satellites really crashed into

    Why didn't we know about the crash of two satellites in advance?

    Why didn't we know about the crash of two satellites in advance? Satellites in orbits are tracked. Their orbits are pretty much stable. Shouldn't someone have been able to calculate years in advance the exact second this was going to happen?

    The first major collision between 2 orbiting satellites occurred on Tuesday. So

    what are the implications? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_satellite_collision More than 500 pieces of debris spawned from the high speed collision, and both satellites were destroyed. If these collision happen often, it will prove a real danger to EVA: the astronauts orbit the Earth at 10...

    Is the collision of 2 satellites a sign from God?

    We all know that God controls everything in the universe. A Russian satellite and an American satellite crash into each other 500 miles over the earth. Is this a sign from God that we don't need to send fancy scientific equipment into his heavens? Hello??? Tower of Babel, anybody? If all...

    300% more than them? (300% is a figure I got from "Modern Marvels" on The History Channel) I'm not just making that up. Scott: Yes. I would prefer to only pay for a service I use.
