US and Russian communications satellites have collided in space in the first such reported accident.
A satellite owned by the US company Iridium hit a defunct Russian satellite at high speed nearly 780km (485 miles) over Siberia on Tuesday, Nasa said.
The risk to the International Space Station and a shuttle launch planned for later this month is said to be low.
The impact produced massive clouds of debris, and the magnitude of the crash is not expected to be clear for weeks.

It's getting crowded up there.

..The Satellite Situation Report from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Dated September, 1997, the report counts almost 25,000 man-made objects: 8681 currently in orbit, and over 16,000 objects in a state of decay

I need around tree fiddy.

I was thinking about the movie WALL-E. The Earth's outer-atmopshere has orbiting trash.

Service guarantees Citizenship?

wait.. are we at war with Eurasia, Eastasia, or Oceania this week?

I've got this amusing image of a Pixar-esque animated satellite yelling "Jihaaaaad!" as it charges towards the infidel satellite and immolates both in a fantastic cartoon explosion.
Perhaps I've left CNN, Fox, and MSNBC on in the backround for too long today.

If WW-3 starts, everyone is going to be there. Ready or not, like it or not.

And, BTW, nice HK416 there. Might want to move the optics back just a touch before the festivities start. Just sayin'...

Who, WarMan and Bradt3hleader?

Bradt3hleader was pretty clear about indicating it was </sarcasm>, WarMan played along with the theme, and I added a small helping of ironic reality to keep the running joke fresh.

Considering the HK416 only exists as engineering samples and military items, I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually own one.

C'mon, play along. It's "Everything Else", not "Dumbasses & Shit Talk"

Well, you can join the US military at 16 or 17, but your parents have to sign something.

Yep, and there is a civilian variant hk416 by the way, or at least it is in developement. I wouldn't mind one.
