Hi Tara!

I can't see your pictures, so I don't know what the twits are doing, but just that you called them twits...I do like the cut of your jib!

(Oh noes...next 'fad': jibbing. People will try to hang sideways from a pole, all the while waving in the wind...fapping, if you will.)

But other pieces [of space debris] —old rocket segments jettisoned in orbit and abandoned spacecraft—fall toward Earth unguided. Last year one object a day, on average, made an unshepherded dive into the atmosphere, said NASA's Nick Johnson.

To date nearly 6,000 tons of human-made material have survived the fiery journey through our atmosphere, according to the Aerospace Corporation, a space-research center.

A woman taking a late-night walk in Oklahoma in January 1997 saw a streak of light in the sky, then felt something brush her shoulder. It turned out to be part of a U.S. Delta II rocket launched in 1996—the only space debris known to have hit someone . . .

Even the names of these uninspired acts are uninspired. ;)
