Russian Spacecraft to hit Earth tomorrow?

[Paullct]

After a failed resupply mission to the International Space Station last week, a Russian Progress cargo ship that spun out of control is expected to reenter the atmosphere and crash to Earth Friday.

Or, what's left of it anyway.

Progress 59 launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan April 28 carrying three tons of supplies for the crew aboard ISS. But the ship suddenly spun out of control and engineers were unable to direct the wayward craft to its destination. They soon gave up any hope that it would be able to dock with the space station and commenced a waiting game, tracking the craft as it tumbled in space and back toward Earth. Specialists on the ground couldn't say for sure when it would return -- or where it might be heading.

The Russian space agency said Wednesday that Progress is likely to fall from orbit early Friday.

Russian Economy inna mess and they still have capital to fund there space program.

since they make everything themselves its supposed to be much cheaper than what America would have to spend. Plus being the first people to go into space I doubt they would ever give up this kind of business.

Russian spacecraft don't hit the earth, that's how they land. The earth is only a mechanism to slow the spacecraft down.

Apparently someone thought the same thing about a Nissan GT-R.
