This satellite has been on the news here (Australia) for a while as our continent has had a few satellites and bits thereof crash landing here by mistake. They ewre aimed at the Pacific Ocean. Near enough I suppose if you are safely in Florida! So no one was too alarmed until a couple of days ago when it all became much more interesting and made the evening TV news as 'Deadly Satellite Full Of Poison Gas to Crash Land in Australia'..that is if it isn't shot down by some sailor types off Hawaii.. and there were photos of alarming looking missiles being fired from a ship, and the reassuring voice-over that this had never been done before so it would be good practice. No one has panicked yet, the sun is shining and the cricket is much more interesting, and it does seem that it may not visit here anyway.

We'll have to wait and see!
