Well, maybe we're not all doomed, but a few Russian space program executives might be.
A newly-launched, highly toxic Russian space vehicle is having problems in space. Loaded with dangerous materials, it's like a ticking time bomb ready to crash back into the earth's atmosphere.
"Though Russian mission controllers are frantically trying to regain control of the craft, it's not looking good. Friday's efforts are widely regarded as a last-ditch attempt to salvage the mission. Other space agencies such as NASA and ESA have offered to assist, but the probe is quickly becoming unrecoverable."
So, get your cameras ready. It might land in your backyard, and you need to be ready for the photo opp of a lifetime.
