Have you heard that in a matter of days, the sky will actually be falling! A NASA satellite, the size of a small bus, is currently falling from its orbit and will land somewhere on Earth! Check out this link below to track the satellite!! Just remember as this article says:
"If you do come across what you suspect is a satellite piece, NASA doesn't want you to pick it up. The space agency says there are no toxic chemicals present, but there could be sharp edges. Also, it's government property. It's against the law to keep it as a souvenir or sell it on eBay. NASA's advice is to report it to the police."

What do you think this means for you as scientists?! How can our LEGO robotics unit, and all you are learning about robotics help in solving problem like this one?!!

Everybody... The satellite fell last night, early this morning, but they don't yet know when. Check out www.nasa.gov. I read that it was sent up in 1991 and it was only supposed to last for 3 years, but it stayed up in space for 20 years, although it only worked until 2005.
