    They're not quite sure when or where it will hit exactly.

    But you know the telephone box on the corner of Hammond Rd ?

    Don't use it at 13.52 on the 3rd of March

    If it does hit land it'll be on eBay shortly after.

    The satellite has thrusters, small engines used to position it in space, that contain the toxic rocket fuel hydrazine. Hydrazine can cause harm to anyone who comes into contact.

    The satellite, known by its military designation US193, was launched in December 2006. It lost power and its central computer failed almost immediately afterwards, leaving it uncontrollable. It carried a complex and secret imaging sensor.
    I'm hoping the "complex and secret imaging sensor" will land intact in my back garden, and I have a can of air freshener handy for dealing with any hydrazine.

    Shame it's not still operational. They could have put a live feed online so people knew which direction to run in as it came hurtling down.

    Or find something that needs doing in the cellar, and order Tesco home delivery if you need anything.

    How boring if it lands in the sea. Why can't it land on the White House or the Pentagon, for irony's sake if not spectacle.
