Falling Down From Heaven

If you are not good enough to be in heaven, you get kicked out. A Russian space probe learned this the heard way.

On a serious not though, this space craft was heading to Mars but never made it past the Earth's atmosphere. A spokesman of the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces confrimed fragments crashed in the Pacific Ocean.

This mission had a price tag of $170,000,000.00. The space probe weighed 13.5 metric tons, of which 11 metric tons consisted of toxic fuel.

This must be great for the environment. Watch out, you never know what could be falling on your house.
