A nearly 1,500kg Nasa spaceship will crash into Earth within hours

A NASA spaceship, weighing nearly 1,500kg or 3,200 pounds, is expected to make an uncontrolled reentry into Earth within the next few hours. The doomed space telescope, known as Swift, will crash as it hurtles toward the planet. While the loss of the telescope is described as very sad, it is acknowledged that the mission had a significant journey before this inevitable conclusion. The spacecraft is now on a direct path for an uncontrolled crash.
