Well she was walking all alone
Down the street in the alley
Her name was Sally
I never touched her, she never saw it
When she was hit by space junk
When she was hit by space junk
When she was hit by space junk
"In New York, Miami beach
Heavy metal fell in Cuba
Angola, Saudi Arabia
On Christmas eve", said Norad
A soviet sputnik hit Africa
India, Venezuela, in Texas, Kansas
It's falling fast Peru too
It keeps coming, it keeps coming, it keeps coming
And now I'm mad about space junk
I'm all burned out about space junk
Walk and talk about space junk
It smashed my baby's head, space junk
And now my sally's dead, space junk

<< A Chinese space station could reenter the Earth's atmosphere over Oregon in the next two weeks, according to experts in the field of space debris.
China lost control of the Tiangong-1, the country told the United Nations in 2016.
The space station will make an uncontrolled reentry into the Earth's atmosphere on April 1, 2018, plus or minus 4 days, according to The Aerospace Corporation of El Segundo, California.
Aerospace says the space station will crash to Earth between 43 degrees north and 43 degrees south, roughly two-thirds of the planet's surface.
Debris is more likely to land in regions towards the extremes of that range, which includes Southern Oregon and all of California, according to Aerospace. Those areas are denoted in yellow in the map above.
Most of the space station will burn up upon reentry.
"Hydrazine, a highly toxic and corrosive substance, may survive reentry on pieces of space debris," Aerospace notes.
Overall, the debris poses little risk to the Earth, Aerospace says.
"Any surviving reentry debris will most likely fall into an ocean," according to Aerospace. "The odds of space debris hitting you are less than one in 1 trillion."
If the space station does reenter over a populated area, it could create quite the sight for observers.
"Incandescent objects during this reentry may be visible and will likely last up to a minute or more, depending on time of day, visibility conditions, and the observer’s location," Aerospace says. >>

Why did Wesley Crusher get to
Why did Wesley Crusher get to have access to the controls of the Enterprise without ever having gone through Star Fleet Academy? How did Piccard REALLY "know" that he wouldn't fuck things up?
