Thanks for that "AlexG,"

At least you've reminded us all to make sure we watch the News on the day.

This event may appear on the next "Sky at Night" program?

Geez! Pretty soon these crashed satellies are going to be like oxygen tanks on Everest. They'll be all over, and someone will have to pick them up. I mean, the Moon isn't very big, and the space agencies keep leaving stuff there.
