andsome Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 "We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damage this satellite may cause," said Gordon Johndroe, who speaks for the US National Security Council.

AlanHo Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I guess it has a large mass with possibly a nuclear generator - and the concern is what will happen when it hits the atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
