    Just when you thought 2020 was done with us...

    ... comes the news that we might see a satellite collision up in the sky.

    Seems I recall a large satellite falling out of the sky some 15-20 (?) years ago that raised some concern around the globe!

    And there was Skylab back in the 70s as I recall. Didn't that crash to earth in the Australian outback. Good job it didn't land in a city centre.
