Apparently, a British designed satellite intended to study the melting of the polar caps has crashed. They used a Soviet ICBM to fit a shoestring budget. I doubt if it was insured.
Sputnik II? Are we in the USA launching any satellites to do similar studies? I think the politics surrounding the global warming issue are completely bogus, but we should study the problem from a scientific perspective and the first step is gathering data.
Anyone have any good conspiracy theories about the Bush administration ordering the rocket to be shot down with ABMs?
