Phobos-Grunt Has Landed

Nero. Nero. Nero. Are you OK?

It’s a Russian spaceship, which was intended to be heading to Mars, but got stuck in the wrong orbit after blast off and is now out of control and expected to crash land somewhere on earth. Oh that’s just friggin dandy, has anyone seen my hard hat?.  And yes, we are getting the usual spiel about “don’t panic” the likelihood of it landing on someone’s noggin is near to none.

Want sauce with that?
