Anyone that knows me knows I love kittens. What they may not know is that I also love explosions. Especially the over the top Michael Bay destroying the entire island of Manhattan explosions. And while the moon will be giving us quite an interesting show tonight, I want to see the visual display I paid for.
Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week, they aren't really sure. But at some point soon, the US government is going to shoot down a broken satellite that is threatening to crash to Earth and turn the dead into zombies. The whole process could end up costing $60 million. And because a (very) small fraction of that cost came from my pocket, I want to see the damn thing. I want to watch as the satellite explodes and rains safe, yet freakishly awesome fireballs down upon Endor Earth. But no. I'd have to be a resident of a small island in the South Pacific to see the spectacle. Couldn't we have shot the damn thing down over Long Island Sound? We could have sold tickets and funded the whole thing. Alas, it was not to be.
So, to all the residents of Funafuti, enjoy the fireworks. Hope we don't miss. And, if possible, video tape the damn thing and upload it to YouTube.

I actually had a dream that the flaming satellite fell on me while I was having a picnic. But, if anyone hasn't gone outside to see the flaming satellite fly through the sky, you really should. It is was all kinds of cool.
