    WASHINGTON - A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and could hit the Earth in late February or March, government officials said Saturday.

    The satellite, which no longer can be controlled, could contain hazardous materials, and it is unknown where on the planet it might come down, they said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the information is classified as secret.

    "Appropriate government agencies are monitoring the situation," said Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council, when asked about the situation after it was disclosed by other officials. "Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly. We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damage this satellite may cause."

    Grant Hill's back yard

    flipping over a toy from his kids play area, hitting him in the ankle, putting him out of the rest of the year.

    Book it.

    Good point, I'm sure if it had landed in Pyongyang, the North Koreans wouldn't have touched it at all, but now that they know... .

    20,000 lbs, and the size of a bus.

    That might leave a mark.

    I have been searching to no avail: Does anyone remember that commercial (I think it was for a Visa or MC) where some hermit guy in a trailer in the outback reads something like this on the internet? Then he uses his card to place an order for thousands of pillows and wraps his trailer in them? I loved that one!
