Though this is bad overall, the thought of the two satellites colliding and going BOOM excites the inner child within me.

It would have been badass to witness.

No kidding! I've been disappointed in lack of pictures too. What is the point of having the most highly advanced military/space complex on earth if we can't the some good pics of one of our sats smashing the shit out of a Russian one. Too bad it happened over Siberia too, I wonder if someone looking up on a clear night would have been able to see anything?

I read somewhere that there was debris from it falling into Texas. Basically looks like a comet from what they are saying.

Seems everything is running into each other these days. Now we've got nuclear submarines running into each other. You know it had to been a game of chicken that went horribly wrong.
