Thank you to the US Navy for saving us from the terrible spy satellite that was out of control and plummeting to Earth. You have saved us from a bus sized hunk of junk and 453 kilograms of Hydrazine (rocket fuel) that may have been released had this satellite crashed.

Hydrazine is a nasty bit of gear if you are exposed to it acutely for long periods of time. Of course, if a satellite crashes in your back yard I am sure the first thing you will do is go out and take a swim in any liquids/solids oozing from its core. Alternatively if the tank did rupture during atmosphere entry, I am anxious to see how a flammable liquid would make it all the way to the ground after the container holding it burnt up.

Instead of Government’s telling us that they are doing something for our immediate safety why can’t they tell us the truth? They do not want the classified contents or design of this satellite to fall into the wrong hands if it crashes in the wrong area of the planet.

Lets be clear, both “reasons” are for our safety, it’s just that one makes sense to any free thinking intelligent person and the other makes no monetary or safety sense at all. I would wager that the rocket sent up to destroy this satellite was carrying way more than 453 kilograms of Hydrazine.

Oh and next time you have a car accident best put your vehicle gas mask on straight away. The same hydrazine they are trying to “save” you from in the satellite is the same hydrazine that is in each and every vehicle air bag system.
