Well, if my internet goes down I'm still going to blame AT&T. Having satellites fall out of orbit is a bit scarier, depending on where they land.

I refuse to worry about this!It's fascinating though. I've always wanted to see the Northern Lights but not at the cost of widespread outages!

Thanks for the informational article! I had no idea!

@Juniebird : I was blessed to see them once, in Michigan! I abhor cold weather, so pics will do for me, more than that.

Does anyone else remember SkyLab coming down, in the Australian Outback and surrounding ocean? The Challenger Shuttle fell too close to comfort for me, too. I'm not about to start worrying, but the danger is real.
