New year, same problems.
We had quite a bit of space debris to worry about last year. It seemed like the sky was falling on us left and right. Guess what, Planet Earth? You have about a week until the party starts up again.
The Russian probe Phobos-Grunt was launched in November, aiming for Mars. However, its rocket boosters failed to fire once it got into orbit around the Earth and it’s been up there ever since. Soon it’s going to come crashing down on us. Russian scientists say up to 30 400-lb. pieces of the probe will fall from the sky in a week or so.
Then again, it could just be a cover-up for more Transformers coming to Earth.
