Pentagon to Shoot Down Rogue Satellite (Updated) | Danger Room from Wired.com

 

This is a Head's Up or Down  situation, depending on where you are when it comes down.  Remember SkyLab's fall into the Indian Ocean?  This is a 2.5 ton chunk of metal full of nasty chemicals falling to earth and now they want to shoot at it.  Bad idea! Although there really isn't a good idea for this.  Sometime on MArch they say and they won't know where its going to fall until it hits the atmosphere.  They we get a 30 minute warning... 

Chicken Little was right!!!
