The UARS -- short for Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite -- has been in orbit since the space shuttle Discovery launched it in 1991, but it's gradually coming closer and closer to the ground as it encounters friction from the upper reaches of the atmosphere.

I know it's going to hit my house!
A failed space program from jump street.NASA knew this would happen 20 years ago when they put this crap in orbit.It's called "gravity".Aside from the oohs and aahs,can NASA actually justify the trillions spent? The Hubble space telescope is dollar for dollar the best NASA investment ever.
