Comments on: More on the spy satellite http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/01/28/more-on-the-spy-satellite/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic.

I plan on being a regular reader/commenter here, after finding BA via TU24 drama, and it makes me e-sad that I'm flagged as a spammer. =( Dear Phil,

We now return you to your regularly scheduled the-sky-is-falling already in progress. I have an asteroid to catch. @ Michael Lonergan – the one in your 9:15 pm post worked fine for me.

I can't see why they would not release such information as the expected date of "arrival", and other such information that would allow us to be prepared. Also, does the fact that it was in a Polar Orbit increase the odds of it hitting land? BTW, I'm such a n00b, I figured out how to link my name. Some people should never be allowed within 20 feet of teh intertoobs. Will the government release more information about this satellite as time goes by?
